[PSUBS-MAILIST] RE:I'm a new member
Hi,
I just joined last night. I live in Lansing Mi. and
vacation in the Florida Keys. I want to build a
submersiable called the " Aquasub II" Its a sub attached
to two pontoons which remain on the surface. Has anyone
built one of these? I would also like to find other
links if any to Subs of this type.
Heres the link for the "Aquasub II"
http://www.rqriley.com/aquasub.html
Thanks for any info.
