Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Deep Quest for sale on Ebay...
Ian, at the last stage the sub has a fuelcell system - but this was
later removed. I can imagine with all 3 hull in place and all original
"dive equipment" removed the housboat description fits maybe just in.
Its worth to have a look if the pressure hull remains intact or not. The
boat has original no diesel engine - thats indicate a violent rebuild..
If all the electric thruster and drive motors are gone - it will cost a
lot of money to rebuild her to former beauty - even with an intact hull.
But maybe she is at worth. Last dive was about 20 years ago..
Vance ? Any Information ?

I can't see how they could take the pressure vessels out, wouldn't that basically be the whole sub? That's a good point about asking where the parts are though - you could build a sub like Karl Stanley's new one! I wouldn't want to trailer that thing. Do you know how the original propulsion system was set up diesel - electric or just electric?
