Alan I agree with Carsten. 1000 hrs is much more reasonable. I
am on my second year of a highly
modified K350. I did not keep track of the time, but it is
substantial. I will get in the water yet
this year, but have come to the conclusion will probably spend all
next winter redoing everything
after testing. I have also come to the conclusion trying to put a
close dollar figure on it is very
difficult. Material costs have really gone up in the last two
yrs.
Having the right tools is also very important. I had a fairly
complete workshop to begin with and
don't think I would start without it. I have worn out two grinders,
a metal sheer, 1/2 inch drill, a
die grinder, and much of my body heheh
The key I think is to have fun
Good luck

Assuming I do most of the work,
will $16K buy the materials for a dry, one atmosphere, two person submersible

Does it take 200, 300, or 400
hours to build one?
