If Hank's used sub valuation guideline applies then this one is worth $120,000 in dive ready condition. However, it's a very larger "personal sub" so perhaps the guideline does not apply. Overhauling the systems and ABS recertification would likely cost than that amount again. Serious money required. Pretty cool, though.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Tim<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p><div><div style="border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in"><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">From:</span></b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"> Personal_Submersibles [<a href="mailto:personal_submersibles-bounces@psubs.org">mailto:personal_submersibles-bounces@psubs.org</a>] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Alan James via Personal_Submersibles<br><b>Sent:</b> Sunday, September 4, 2016 6:14 PM<br><b>To:</b> Personal Submersibles General Discussion <<a href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>><br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Fw: Taurus sub<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1473037443640_3100"><p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black">There are some specs on this Silvercrest site.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1473037443640_3102"><p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black"><a href="http://www.silvercrestsubmarines.co.uk/taurusinfo.html">http://www.silvercrestsubmarines.co.uk/taurusinfo.html</a><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1473037443640_3225"><p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black">Would hate to think what you may be in for, getting it up<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1473037443640_3224"><p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black">to scratch. 8 view ports to replace?<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1473037443640_3223"><p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black">Alan<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1473037443640_3112"><p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1473037443640_3147"><p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1473037443640_3148"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;background:white"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1473037443640_3049"><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1473037443640_3048"><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1473037443640_3047"><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1473037443640_3046"><div class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center;background:white"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black"><hr size="1" width="100%" align="center"></span></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">From:</span></b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black"> hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles <<a href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>><br><b>To:</b> Personal Submersibles General Discussion <<a href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>> <br><b>Sent:</b> Monday, September 5, 2016 12:31 PM<br><b id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1473037443640_3173">Subject:</b> [PSUBS-MAILIST] Fw: Taurus sub</span><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1473037443640_3050"><p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div id="yiv4884311114"><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1473037443640_3052"><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1473037443640_3051"><div id="yiv4884311114yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1473035299510_3017"><p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black">Hello All,<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div id="yiv4884311114yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1473035299510_3017"><p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black">Yesterday I came across the Taurus Submarine on eBay , she is 22 tons with diver lock out.
