Good Morning Les,
I have some pretty basic pencil drawings of the
hull at this time. It will take me a couple of years to complete. Work must come
first as that's what pays for toys. I am planning on a large front window, about
40 inches in diameter, three pressure compensated trolling motors, three seats,
and lots of battery reserve. Macro-Guppy will be good for 1000
feet.
Yes, you are right, she will see service in Lake
Michigan as well as Superior when the bugs are out. Because of her size she will
definately not be as fast as yours, but as we all know, it's all about
compromising one goal to achieve another!
Best Regards,
Jim Kocourek

Hi Jim, sounds like your going to cruse
Lake Michigan in a sub that Big. I just got the phone number of the guy with
the 14,000lbs sub about 50 miles from me so i gave the number to Gary tonight,
trying to get him to the convention this year.I talked to Jon up
north,yelo-sub.com- he's going to paint and bring his sub to look at unles he
gets it in working order-- and it might be for sale. DO you have a drawing of
the sub your building ?

Hi Les,
Just an update. I'm looking forward to seeing
you at the convention also. I have the hull cylinder complete for mine. (4
feet dia. by 12 feet long) I have been stuck with crush formula for a long
time and had help from Clif Redus. I took my bike for a trip to visit him in
Texas and he most helpful. He is in the early testing of a really cool sub
that he built. I was stuck with some Macro formulas and have decided to call
mine the Macro-Guppy.
I have just received the formed steel from the
fab shop and have one rib welded up and tacked into place. I will have about
1000 feet of weld to lay these up, (12'5" X 4 double passes X 10 ribs) so iI
think that will keep me out of trouble for some time.
Best Regards,
Jim Kocourek
