[PSUBS-MAILIST] Fw: Your sub's for sale?

["Captain Nemo" <vulcania@interpac.net>]

Hi All!

A while back, Ray posted a note saying Ted (PSUBS GALLERY) wanted to sell
his submarine.  There was at least one request for further information.
Well, I contacted him.  Turns out Ted wants to sell the sub because he's
getting on in years, has nobody to help him operate the boat, and would like
to buy a 5th-wheeler to take his wife camping in.  He said he didn't really
know what the sub might be worth, and is willing to consider offers.  Below
is a copy of my second contact with Ted, wherein he gives information about
the specifications and whereabouts of the sub.   I don't think I'll be
making an offer; just the cost of shipping from Canada to Hawaii would be
expensive.  But I thought I'd post Ted's information for the group, in case
anyone might be interested.
