 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.
