<DIV>Brian,</DIV><DIV>I always thought those hoops were for a cover. You can make the cover without making a plug. I do it all the time, it just means you have to have to do some filler work, but that is easy. </DIV><DIV>Hank</DIV><DIV><BR></DIV>

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 style=""><FONT size="2" style=""><FONT face="Arial, sans-serif"><BR></FONT></FONT></DIV><DIV style=""><FONT size="2" style=""><FONT face="Arial, sans-serif">Brian</FONT></FONT></DIV><DIV style=""><FONT size="2" style=""><FONT face="Arial, sans-serif"><BR></FONT></FONT></DIV><DIV style=""><FONT size="2" style=""><FONT face="Arial, sans-serif"> </FONT></FONT></DIV></DIV></DIV>_______________________________________________<BR>Personal_Submersibles mailing list<BR><A href="mailto:Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org">Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org</A><BR><A href="http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles">http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles</A><BR></DIV>
