Thanks Frank. It was a fun project. Dan
Lance also contributed a whole lot of welding. I was surprised to find that the
early k-250s didn’t use any stainless parts or even 0-rings. All the thru-hulls
were carbon steel pipe with bronze jam nuts. We cut them all out and replaced
them with 316 ss. There was no flood valve- just a 2” removable threaded pipe
cap.
The sub now has flood valves on each side
where the old motors exited the hull. All electric power goes through a
removable SS plate aft. The MBTs are saddle style. There is a flip up seat so a
second person can lie on the floor. The entire hull was sand/soda blasted and
coated with Interlux 2000e and top coated with marine polyurethane. The air
system has no regulator- it HP all the way- all valves and flex lines are rated
for 6000 psi. The tanks can be remotely filled with a HP whip.

Thanks Ian and Greg. I enjoy
following Scott's activities after seeing his presentation on " El
Rojo Diablo "
Giant squids and especially octopi just
fascinate me.
I'm sorry I missed his visit to the
convention in
Greg......looks like you did a nice job
on the K250 re-fit of Great White. I'll be watching for further adventures with
this boat.
