Hi Jay. Ya, for that kind of money it should do something. Going fast may
be fun but like you said, not very useful in a sub and ultimately quite
dangerous. I'm wondering not only how fast my sub will go, but also how fast it
will stop. Turning is something too. The sub's weight, plus the ballast tank
water trapped inside, makes a pretty heavy weight to stop quickly. If I crash
into the proverbial " immovable object " like a big rock somethin's gotta
give. I'm hoping the sub will be maneuverable enough to avoid ramming things
directly and I've put "bumpers" into the FRP design to absorb shock. They might
break but are fairly easy to repair.
Can't wait to see how this thing really works.
