Dear Risk.
Thanks very much for that kind offer of the 18ft hobie cat.
Sounds great. Perhaps when you could come over before bringing the 18 ft
hobie and check out my sub and see if you think the 18 ft hobie would support
its weight.
I planned on modifying the crossbeams of the hobie to include a raised
portion in the middle that would be horseshoe shaped welded to the original
crossbeams.
Then the sub would be slung underneath this horseshoe shape and able to be
lowered or raised. So hopefully if the 18ft hobie hulls would support the weight
I wouldn't have
to drag the sub thru the water. At the stern of the hobie if necessary I
could always install and attach a small outboard motor hull that would provide
extra buoyancy for the outboard
motor's weight and help keep the stern of the hobie hulls from riding too
deep in the water. E mail me at lakins1@tampabay.rr.com and I will e
mail you my phone number so
we can coordinate when would be good for you to come over to see the sub
and make sure it would be worth bringing the hobie hulls over and also so
I can send you my address too.
Kindest Regards,
Bill Akins.
