>I had a number of different ideas for restoring this K-250, but once I discovered that it was one of the original K-250's I decided I wanted to do a mostly classic restoration, so the sub will look pretty close to the same way it does now, including the color.  I'll be needing to make a new tangle guard since it is rotten from not being sealed at the ends, and make a new hatch dome protector like the one that was on the sub when used for Trident Exploration LTD.    But instead of A36 mild steel square tubing I'll see if I can find some chromoly square tubing.

> That's right my fellow SMMO's, I just finalized the deal to purchase the Kittredge K-250  #105, that was built after the Brook's K-250.  My K-250 is the one build for Dr. LeShack, that is talked about in the Captain's book on pages 260 and 261. Now you all know some of what I've been up to of late. ;)'      I have loads of new data to tell you guys about this sub. Alec I'll be needing to take you up on your offer for tech help.

>Jon if you could forward this email to the Captain and ask him if he has any more data on the Dr. LeSchack K-250 #105, like pictures, a Bill of Sale to know the date sold, as well as any other data would be wonderful. From what I can gather the sub and it's trailer were built in 1977. I was also able to get the trailer at the last minute. The last owners modified the trailer a bit by adding six feet to the front  bed, so they could use it for another application. I'll have to cut it back again or beef it up to handle the subs weight better.  I'm guessing that the #105 means that my sub was the fifth K-205 model George and his crew built.
