[PSUBS-MAILIST] Kitset law

Does anyone know what exactly the legalities of selling kit set submersibles are?  Is there a certification exemption if the buyer/builder completes over 51% of the work, much like the EAA exemption for kitset aircraft? How exactly do they measure what 51% of the work might be? Is it done by Total Man Hours? Presumably a kitset manufacturer could do a lot more work in a given man hour than an individual kit builder so in theory you may be able to sell a kit almost 90% complete. Are there any partially complete submersibles on the market today? Any answers to these questions would be greatly appreciated

The cruise ships companies operates from outside the US, they only board pax in the US, that would require a sub to be a long range sub, like from bahamas to board pax in FL.so if the sub is not built in the US, the only way to take passengers is under charter agreement.however, charter or passenger service, US or foreign flags ships or subs must comply with USCG and ABS requirements and inspectionsHerve

 Good Morning Gentleman, Do you think it's possibly an insurance policy type deal?   But then again,  what do they do with foreign registry passenger ocean liner - vessels? Curiosity,,, Tom SullivanBodega Bay(75 miles North of San Francisco)
