Would not wish this work on anybody ! a lot of sanding , but I've finished the first phase and things are looking good ! If anybody needs a shell of this dimension I'll be able to crank them out like crazy ! </div><div> </div><div>I also realized that this fiberglass shell could actually have a purpose other than cosmetic ! Once I have it on I would be able to place additional floats inside of it in the unlikely event that I still don't have enough buoyancy up front ! But I don't think that will be the case.</div><div> </div><div>I also have an idea of how I can test my sub without having to use the boatyard. I think what I'll do is just sink her right at the launch ramp ! At least I can just say that I'm balancing things out or whatever. My strategy will be to just dink around for a really long time at the launch ramp ( during the week) until the harbor patrol gets bored or has go on a call , then I'll just pull the cork ! </div><div> </div><div> </div><div>Brian</div><div> </div><div> </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>
