I hate fractions. Metric blows away all other scales!!!!
Okay lessee. I'll give you my best estimate, but you're still going to want 
to dunk it. I'll just give you a max depth you can dunk it to if it hold at 
165ft
.3125 inches.
doing it for .28125 to account for corrosion.
18.75inches radius.
120 inches long (hopefully that is between weld points.
.3 steel with a flexibility of 3E7
gives you:
239 to 266 ft. Dramatic difference, don't you agree?
I think I may have not removed the ten percent from the original calc. I 
never said I was a genius. heh, but regardless the original spec I gave you 
tells a different story now that you've sent me all the info. I always 
recommend take half off of that for max operating depth. It's good to be 
safe, and 110 feet is where you start really losing light in some waters 
anyways.
Good luck with your project, and definately make sure to get the saturated 
propane out of there, Temper it out if you have to, but that will change your 
flexibility, and 75 ft might be all you can really go.
