Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Comsub in New Zealand



Hi Hugh. That sounds fantastic!!!! I've always been impressed by the com sub info that's come up from time to time. Congratulations!
It looks like a real nice boat. I knew the speed and horse power numbers were wrong, but there's upgrades that can be added as you get more familiar with it that shouldn't take too much work or expense.
It is a heavy little bugger. You may be able to build a trailer for it so it won't be so expensive or complicated to take it out for the day.
I have a few ideas on mounting an outboard motor on mine for surface transport, and then bringing the outboard inside when I dive. Mostly just to save time and battery power during surface transports to the dive location. I bet you could set something up on yours like that. A little 20 horse outboard like a Merc or Honda is pretty easy to lift and stow, and will run a long time on 5 gallons of gas. Again, congratulations, and have lots of fun with your new boat. VERY cool!!!!!!! Frank D.
