[PSUBS-MAILIST] Question for the group

[Alan James]

Hi Jon,
I didn't receive your post either & wasn't in spam.
Glad to hear you are positive about continuing on in Psubs.
You are doing an awesome job, it's much appreciated.
>>>    If someone on psubs could come up with something to
help the whole group what would it be? 
     I would suggest bringing the K250 or K350 plans in to the 21st century.
Have CAD files with 3D drawings, & files for sending to machine shops. Update the 
design to include saddle tanks & whatever to improve them. Have components that
are currently available, with links to suppliers. Alternatively adopt the Sea Urchin (I think)
that Phil had mused about putting out as a kit. 
The group revolves a lot around these boats & from following other peoples progress
building them, it appears that life could be made a lot easier for future members.
Alan

Jon,
I'll plan the 2015 psubs convention in June :)
I would have been glad to plan one in 2014, I am just afraid with the massive expansion and store remodels we have been doing I would have done a crappy job. 
I'll contact you off list of some other things I would be happy to do. 
Thanks,
Scott Waters

>Retire from PSUBS? Sub-building is only one challenge. How about taking on a leadership role...we need to move towards making PSUBS a non-profit organization, create a board of directors, fight for our rights when government tries to limit our hobby, and counter other organizations who try to label us as a potential problem. We need to get ABS and ASME as involved with us as they are with other
 organizations. We also need to expand the group, more members, more documented info, more online tools for design and operations, larger conventions with more participation. There's lots to do...retire from PSUBS??...that's not in my vocabulary. I think I'm going to get a couple people to nominate you for some work we need done. :)
