Hi Vance is Mermaid II vbr Carsten "Scott Waters" <muddywatersfarm@hotmail.com> schrieb: > > It is just south of Islamorada, FL in the Florida Keys. If you head down US Hwy 1, right before the channel 5 bridge (one of only 3 high bridges that alow sail boats through in the Keys) it is the "Florida Sea Base, Boy Scouts of America" it is on the West side of the road right off US Hwy 1. Just pull into the registration area and talk to the people at the front desk. The sub is twords the back of the camp. It is pretty interesting and now in decent condition , though no longer certified. Hopefully you get a chance to see it when you are down that way. > > > > Here is the address: > > The Florida Sea Base: > 73800 Overseas Hwy. > Lower Matecumbe Key > Islamorada, FL 33036 > > and here is the phone number (305) 664-5612 > > and here s the web site http://www.bsaseabase.org/index.html > > Thanks, > > Scott Waters > > > > To: personal_submersibles@psubs.org > Subject: Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] I'm Back and ready > Date: Tue, 24 Feb 2009 20:12:33 -0500 > From: vbra676539@aol.com > > No, and the color doesn't help. Mermaids were orange and white, the Dutch Skadoc was red, then orange for awhile, even a couple of the Perrys ended up orange at one time or another. Is this thing on the web anywhere? Or is there someone I can call? I'll be down in South Dade for March and part of April, so I could have a look. Where is it? > Vance > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Scott Waters <muddywatersfarm@hotmail.com> > To: New Message <personal_submersibles@psubs.org> > Sent: Tue, 24 Feb 2009 8:07 pm > Subject: RE: [PSUBS -MAILIST] I'm Back and ready > > > > > The orange sub with white pods and the hydrolic arms. It was donated originally by a family to the scouts for educational pourposes. Do you know which one I am talking about? They now have a wooden staircase leading up to it so the scouts can get inside to look around and learn about how it works. > Scott > > > > To: personal_submersibles@psubs.org > Subject: Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] I'm Back and ready > Date: Tue, 24 Feb 2009 19:18:26 -0500 > From: vbra676539@aol.com > > Which sub, specifically? > Vance > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Scott Waters <muddywatersfarm@hotmail.com> > To: New Message <personal_submersibles@psubs.org> > Sent: Tue, 24 Feb 2009 5:29 pm > Subject: RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] I'm Back and ready > > > > > 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 Waters > > > > To: personal_submersibles@psubs.org > Subject: Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] I'm Back and ready > Date: Tue, 24 Feb 2009 14:56:31 -0500 > From: vbra676539@aol.com > > Scott, > Welcome back, and I have to ask.

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 submersable20experience 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 thi s. 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? >=2 0Thanks so much and I'm glad his is finally becoming a reality, > Scott Waters > > > > It’s the same Hotmail®.
