Thanks Risk for that hobie cat hull offer, That would be great!
Where are the hulls located? I live in Hudson, Fl. but if we aren't
too far apart I could come get them with my ford van if seperated or a flatbed
if they are attached.
Are they in pretty good shape without any fiberglass rot from too
much exposure to UV? Is the boom between them attached or are the hulls
seperated and if so is the boom still laying around detached?
I don't know what the completed weight of my wetsub will be yet,
because I have not yet purchased the 4 batteries to go into my battery pod,
nor have I worked out any possible buoyancy problems and added any needed
ballast yet
to the battery pod. Still working on it. But I would estimate approx that
when everything is done my wetsub will weigh in the range of perhaps close
to between 500 to 600 lbs
without anyone in it. With one operator in the wetsub to steer it while
being towed it would increase the weight by the total of the operator's
weight so
might as well add another 175 to 200 lbs depending on the person
of course. So in the end I would estimate a weight of around 800 lbs on the
high end of the estimate and 650 lbs on the low
end of the estimate.
Think those hulls would support these estimated weights?
Kindest Regards,
Bill Akins.
