I saw this sub a year or so ago, and it looks like it didn't sell. I can't
remember what it was going for back then but it was a lot more than that price,
and had a "reserve-not-met" next to the bid.
It has some things in common with mine. The ends are regular "dished"
ends where I chose 2:1 elliptical ends making it taller and rounder. More like a
flattened sphere than a flying saucer.
With the testing I did early on in the design phase, I'm surprised the
ballast tanks are so low. That has to add to the instability. The builders must
not have read Busby's book !
I bet that could be fixed pretty easy. I wonder if the heavy tower was
adding to the instability too.
If it's not all rusted out, it could be a cheap start to a sub as long as a
guy was willing to experiment with what went wrong and try to fix it. If it was
on the west coast I would maybe go for it. Hell, just one of the windows would
cost more than that. Frank D. Check all of your email inboxes from anywhere on the web. Try the new Email Toolbar now! |
