It was in a hanger at Santa Rosa airport, one of his flying buddies was selling it for his widow.</div><div><br></div><div>It was a K350-ish thing. Instead of fiberglass MBTs, it had steal MBTs, each made of half a 36in diameter cylinder with half an endcap on each one, functioning the same as the original K350 ballast tanks. I assume the builder order on extra section of main cylinder and one extra endcap and cut them in half.</div><div><br></div><div>There were a few things that put me off. If I remember correctly it had something incorrect about the front view port, like it was K250 front view port frame or something, not the correct K350 view port frame. Also, in many places I found welds which didn't complete fill the gap, I could get my finger nail below the surface of the metal being joined. In the end it felt too much like taking on somebody else's mistakes.</div><div><br></div><div>I might have posted something about this one before, maybe check the archives.</div><div><br></div><div>Also, congrats on the progress, great to see more sub progress in California. I need to do a better job of carving out time for sub projects!</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div> Ian.</div><div><br><blockquote style="padding-left: 5px; margin-left: 0px; border-left: #0000ff 2px solid; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial,sans-serif; color: black;">-----Original Message-----

<br>Subject: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Submarine in Santa Rosa
<br><br><div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Guys, I heard a story today about a guy whos name was "Doc Brunner". The story is he had a submarine in his garage here in Santa Rosa, CA. When he died, it was sold to a local restaurant who may have put it in the faux lake behind the restaurant until the city had it removed. From what i can gather on its description, it may have been a k boat. I'm wondering if anyone may have any additional information as i have never heard of a k boat here.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div>Best Regards,<br>David Colombo<br><img src="http://static.squarespace.com/static/533310a9e4b0fba62008a464/t/5339c1f2e4b041bac4e25d1b/1396294132055/?format=500w" width="200" height="110"><br>804 College Ave<br>Santa Rosa, CA. 95404<br>(707) 536-1424<br><a target="_blank" href="http://www.SeaQuestor.com">www.SeaQuestor.com</a><br><br></div></div></div></div></div></div>
