<div>David,</div><div>It sure is looking good, fantastic really. Depending on weight and hull thickness I would consider welding the tab to a pad. Defiantly tabs instead of welded on, you would be surprised how important it is to be able to break the sub down into small parts. I also think all subs should split in half but thats another discussion.</div><div>Hank</div><div><br></div>
