Thanks to those of you that answered my comment on the
color of the inside of the sub.. That is why I asked.. I guess black is not
such a good idea....I like the light grey color, and did not honestly know
what kind of reflection I would get..
Just for everyones information.. I am building the K250,
and got some of the metal yesterday..
The main body shell, which is 4 feet long, 36"od,
cost $340.00, the 5 ribs for the inside of the main body, cost $310.00, and
the conning tower metal cost $150.00
The 2 endcaps for the internal ballast tank were $117.00
for the pair.. This is all I have bought so far, and will keep me busy
welding for a while, as there is no welding done, just the rolling for the
hull, and ribs.( I bought my welder a few weeks ago, and it cost
$780.00) For those of you that are not fimiliar with the K250, I need
to buy a 24" od acrylic dome yet, and have got a price of $1147.00 for
that..that includes the dome, which is ready to put on..(formed, metal ring
put on, and stress relieved)
I have also got a price for the endcaps for the main body,
and depending on what style I go with, they will cost between
$328.00-$380.00 I have yet to decide what style will be the same as
the plans...
All these prices are Canadian dollars..
This is cheaper than I figured, so I guess you can say
that it is comming in under budget so far...
More later..
Bill..
