I should be hell bent on submerging at this point, since I'm so close, but that means a trip to the boat yard and more money spent on the travel lift and a tow down there. I figure since I've got the electronics to re-do and a few other issues to deal with I might as well make the thing look a bit sexier. Means I have to build a plug and make a mold and then do a gel coat finish for the fiberglass cover. I also have to build an extra step just below the existing teak deck. Also need an electric air pump for ballast on the surface, also need to re-do my HP air, I want to get rid of that huge 300 cu ft air cylinder and replace it with multiple aluminum 80's . And I need to buy a HP compressor !! I sure I probably for got something.</font></font></div><div><font size="2"><font face="Arial, sans-serif"><br></font></font></div><div><font size="2"><font face="Arial, sans-serif">Brian</font></font></div><div><font size="2"><font face="Arial, sans-serif"><br></font></font></div><div><font size="2"><font face="Arial, sans-serif"> </font></font></div></div></div></blockquote><blockquote style="font-size:10pt"><div><span>_______________________________________________</span><br><span>Personal_Submersibles mailing list</span><br><span><a href="mailto:Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org</a></span><br><span><a href="http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles</a></span><br></div></blockquote><span style="font-size:10pt">_______________________________________________
