Bill,
Yes, I was checking out
Needlefish. Very cool. However, it's too big for me. I can't
pull something like that with my 1/2 ton and launch it in the lake. My
design puts my sub at around 6000 lbs, one man job (nobody is going to be stupid
enough to crawl in this thing with me anyway. Besides, if I kill anybody,
I just want it to be me).
None the less, there is much to be
learned from the building of Needlefish I figure. Hats off to Bill Gifford
for getting that far (it says the sub isn't done). I wonder why he's
selling ? The price seems reasonable. Would love to see pics of it
in the water and diving.
Myles.
