Steven B. ,
' Just out of curiousity and your assessment and
disregarding the design, is the price of this ROV
a good comparison of what you might consider
reasonable given time, effort/work, and materials?
Would you profit by this? Or...if you were to sell this
just to promote yourself as a new designer/builder and
*break even* would it still be cost effective for you?
