Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Problems with initial

Hey Greg,
The K350 is pretty close to ready for sandblast and paint, then it's down to wiring. Probably all summer to get it hung back together, what with all the rebuilds, including the thrusters. I'm still hemming and hawing about the Minn-Kota package. Carsten and Emile are working up some stuff on installing spring loaded ceramic seals on trolling motors, which works well on the Minn-Kotas, but I'm running out of time here and may just go ahead and whack everything back together rather than reinvent the wheel. This one I've got has the 3hp aft thruster, which is a pain as it is direct drive and runs a small prop, but hey, it's already on the shelf, so why not use it? Then the second boat will get the Minn-Kotas. That one is the 1000' hull with big windows.
Vance

Scott,
The plans specify all dimensions and measurements for metal on the boat. Each sheet has a materials list. Or at least every sheet I have ever seen. You shouldn't have to be taking anything off the print with a ruler.

I am trying to get all of m y metal ordered for the main part of the sub (k-350). I am having a real hard time gauging the blueprints. I was wondering if anyone had a list of measurements. I am going to order the main vessle and ribs, two battery pods, conning tower and hatch, and VBT. I can't seem to get the plans to scale because they have been saved in PDF and were compacted before they were saved and they have no measurement scale except 1/4" equals 1' which doesn't help if the files have been compacted. HELP?
Thanks,
Scott Waters
