In Islamorada in the Florida Keys on the Boy Scout High Adventure base. Me and several other staff members learned alot about the sub and would point out to scouts how it worked and what controls did what. We spent alot of time cleaning it up and putting parts back on that had fallen off and were damaged. Deffenetly not a complete rebuild by any means, but a deffenet fixer-uper.
Thanks,

Scott,
Welcome back, and I have to ask. Which oil field sub, which scouts, and where in Florida?

Subject: [PSUBS-MAILIST] I'm Back and ready
About 6 months ago I left the p-subs mailing list because I was starting my new business and had no time. Now I can proudly say I'm back due to the sucsess of my business and now having enough money to get started. I purchased my k-350 plans a few days ago and am eager to find them in the mail and finally start! I have a crew of three working on this project. One is a welder who specializes in welding high pressure tank vessels for the oil industry and is scuba cert., another is a full time mechanic who works for me and can do about anything, and myself I am business owner who owns a rental business, scuba cert. and some submersable experience including helping to restore a submersable (origianally for the oil industry) now no longer in service is being used for teaching boyscouts about the ocean in Florida. With all of the tools at our fingertips and a wide array of knowledge, I believe we can do this. One crazy thing about us20though, is we are located in Kansas where the deepest lake is 65', so the building of a long range trailer is nessesary as well. In order to place an order f
or the steel I need to start my k-350, does anyone have a parts list for the caps, main vessel, conning tower, pods, MBT, etc so I can ask for quotes from several steel centers? If not I can formulate them myself, but thought just for quotes and times sake it would be better so I don't forget anything. As far as the process that happens when building the main steel parts, to you weld everything together then stress releave the vessel? I was also wondering if anyone has any reasons not to build a K-600 other than the concern of being more careful, and the lesser amount of stability due to less weight on the bottom of the sub. It sounds interesting, but I want to be sure I know any problems with the k-600 before I go to far. Alot of questions starting out, and I'm sure there will be more to come, but I want to do all of this right and plan it to take around two years. Does anyone have any starting out advise before I start?
Thanks so much and I'm glad his is finally becoming a reality,
Scott Waters
