HI SEAN,

THE SPORTSMAN 300 OR "AMERISUB" AS IT IS ALSO KNOW BY, IS A TWO MAN, 1 ATM.
DRY SUB WITH TWIN CONNING TOWERS AND 360 DEG. VIEW PORTS WHICH WRAP AROUND
THE CONNS.
DESIGNED BY ARMSTRONG AND BLEVINS, THEN SOLD AND BUILT
BY AMERICAN SUBMERSIBLES IN LORIAN OHIO TO BE OFFERED TO THE PUBLIC AS AN
AFFORDABLE SUB FOR SPORT OR OTHER. MY SUB WAS BUILT IN 1964, GIVE OR
TAKE... I AM IN THE PROCESS OR REBUILDING IT, I AM MAKING MANY MODS ON THE
ORIGINAL DESIGN.
IF YOU WANT TO SEE ONE, GO TO THE VIDEO STORE AND RENT THE DISNEY MOVIE
"THE BOAT NIKS"
MY SUB WAS ALSO IN THE LLOYD BRIDGES MOVIE CALLED "THE DARING GAME" THIS
MOVIE IS HARD TO FIND, MY COPY HAS WORN OUT!!! IF ANYONE KNOWS HOW TO GET A
COPY OF IT, LET ME KNOW.
THERE IS A TON OF FOOTAGE IN THIS MOVIE...
THANX FOR INQUIRING.
