Okay thanks for the info it was both personal and business, I went
to look at his K600 with the idea it would be good for me personally and to
pick his brain of some valuable info and boy is there’s lots of info
in there, he did tell me I should contact you and gave me your contact info,
his K600 is still in very nice shape but I like big things I am a big man, but
if possible I would love to look at the K1000 drawing sometime, thanks Brian V. Ryder CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail message, including any

your visit with George Kittredge was more social than business. He thinks big
and builds small, does Captain K. I do have the drawing for his K-1000, which
is a 5' OD hull w/single pod stuck out the back and trim tanks for skids (gross
weight 5200#, as I recall). He was never convinced that 2 people would be
comfortable in there, but I always thought it would be perfectly viable. Still
do, in fact. Vance Ah yes Willie Legrow spelling not correct I meet him thru Terry Dwyer andwillies backing partner I can't remember his name but he had a ship calledthe lady Janet we looked at to buy but needed way more work then I wasprepared to do at the time just goes to show you it's a small world On the sub note where might I start looking to buy a large hemisphericalview port about 54 inches trying to put together a realistic parts cost thanksBrian V.

He wasn't exactly a 'Dudley Do-right' type - Bill Kenney claims he literally took everything off the vessel except the sea-cocks! I got tired of following it a couple of years ago when it looked like itwas going to be a protracted legal hassle - interesting to hear that it finally ended. SDL is not the sort of sub that is in much demand these days - with Katrina and Ivan over, the sat spreads are starting to pile up in the boneyards again . . .ah, well - it was ever thus!
