This maybe old news but I was searching in Google for Karl's C-BUG and found out that it's for sale for $50,000 and it's been tested down just below 700 fsw. How cool is that?

I have to give to boy props for building such a strong sub at such a young age and on top of that he made a Trimaran sub which is allot more stable in the water then most psub designs as well as glide around covering allot of distance without using up any battery power for thrust. I know you loose some visibility with that design as well as needing more room to maneuver under water but I think it's well worth it for all the freeboard you get.
I was watching the Zodiac Cowboys trying to hook on the cranes to Mir 1 and Mir 2 after they came up from the Titanic and everybody in the subs got really sea sick. I'd love to see allot more subs built with more freeboard stability.
I'd kind of like to see Karl keep the C-BUG and put me on as the captain of C-BUG so he can have money coming in from two subs and he can claim to be a Commodore. :)'
