Frank,
I think you guys up north got more rain than we did down here, as what usally
happens. My project has gotten stalled out again, it's that darn funding
aspect that keeps getting in the way. But things are looking up,
finacially. I've posted this link to my web site before, on the
pictures of the wire frame, before the plasteing phase, I had some structure
below the supertructure hull that I ulimately eliminated. My origional
thinking was that I was going to mount the electric motor and batteries in this
area, but I soon realized that plastering this area would be next to impossible
so I cut it out. What I'm going to do now is add it on afterwards by
bolting in on as a seperate piece and make it out of fiberglass.

Hi Brian. That frappr site works nice doesn't it? And it's FREE !!! (
free is good.)
Do you have any sketches of your sub so we can see what it's going to
look like ? You know us sub guys, always curious. I am assembling the foam
mold for the rear fairing on mine. It's been raining pretty steady so am doing
my honey-do list this weekend, but should be able to finish the foam in a
couple of days, then sand and smooth, and ready for fiberglass. Next I'll
start on the bow structure with basically the same steps. Weld the steel, make
a foam mold, then glass up the fairing. Once both fairings are made, I'll make
the ballast tanks as a tight fit inside the fairings. The motor mounts are all
done except for a little linkage, and soon I'll be cutting/welding in the
through-hulls for electric, hydraulic, and air. Then the inside begins.
Controls, battery boxes, seats, plumbing, etc.( wet bar ?) Can't wait to
get this thing WET !!!
I know all the guys would like to see some pictures if you have any more.
If I can be of any help, let me know. Frank D.
