Alan this is in the line of my thoughts. From the
beginning, for my purposes of
exploring Lake Superior, I need to cover large areas. Speed
and endurance are
required. This is the reason for me carrying 18- 85amp
batteries in external battery pods.
If I look at the volume of water in a full flood state the
drop weights to compensate
would be much heavier than I would like.
A 6000 lb lift is only the extreme as this can be my
overall weight. Safety is for sure
not to be compromised, my skinny little butt on the line. I
am just thinking this could
be a solution. I don't feel that the hatch breaking the
surface to allow egress is needed
for an emergency situation when there is a surface support
craft. With a full 6000 lb +
lift capability.
