The kind of sub and expected operating depth will determine what and how much of what
you have to scrounge - um, recycle.  You may want to consider applying your
bargaining skills on craftsmen or tradesmen like welders, fiberglassers, metal
painters, etc. Trade time and skills for dollars.

I hung around a yacht supply store that was going out of business.  Great deals.
