Hey Vance,
Congratulations on your latest baby. She's a
bigger one then your last. The good Captain might not have been
to happy you jumping from a K boat to an N, but he'd probably be a little
jealous anyway.
Enjoy!
Dan H.

Gamma
Thanks Ian. This came through fine when I checked it today. I'd love to
have one of those, too. The symmetry of the hull is just wonderful to the eye.

Hi Vance,
congrats on the Gamma!
I've order a hull from those guys (to use as a model for my sub):

This is kind of a garage company, they take a while to get there
stuff together.
Cheers!
Ian.

Thanks, Carsten. I've seen the model but there were problems with the company
supplying to order. Are these people near you, by any chance. I'd love to have a
scale model like this.

know that my deal is done and I have acquired the Nekton Gamma submersible. Just
got back to Florida from a gonzo run to the Gulf Coast with my brother Nick to
load a truck with goodies and bring the sub home. Gamma has been dismantled and
in storage for 9 years. There is rust damage to the main ballast tanks, but
otherwise she seems in good shape. I intend to keep you up to date through the
psubs web page as we get her repaired and running again. With photos, of course.

of their existence. They are simple, rugged and reliable. In a very real sense,
they were psubs before the phrase was coined--but not psubs of the garage queen
variety. These little vehicles were built to work, and work they did. And still
do. How things were done, and why, should provide a wealth of information and
aha moments for all of us.

rest of you are welcome to ask any questions you like. Meanwhile, I will be
tracking back through operator/owners from the past for more data. Additionally,
I would very much like to locate the Alpha and Beta. If you know anything about
them (where they are, what they are doing, who owns them currently, etc.) and
feel like sharing, please contact me (off-site or on).
