[PSUBS-MAILIST] New submarine

[Jon Wallace]

I think Jim Todd's suggestion of scoping out perspective dive sites is a good one.  Check out the online NOAA charts to find distances to deep water, get estimates on what a work-boat support ship will cost per day, and you'll get an idea of the cost for site access.

Karl Stanley has a deep drop off within submersible power distance.  He doesn't have the costs associated with traveling 24-30 miles off shore to find that kind of deep water.

 Very true. If
 possible towing would be preffered over crane just because
 of cost. But you are right, I need to consider how to get
 this boat way out to depth. I fear my goal
 of very able tooling and manipulator arms will be a huge
 goal. I have no experience in manipulators except my
 business with excavator arms and hydrolic
 tooling. Thanks,Scott
