[PSUBS-MAILIST] Old submarine

[via Personal_Submersibles]

Yes, it used to look much nicer.  There are several  youtube videos of when 
Doug had it, some of which depict mishaps.  It has  very limited utility 
and should only be used in shallow water by someone who  really knows what he 
is doing. More suitable as a museum piece and for  dives on special 
occasions.

Jim,
that's Doug Jacksons Argonaut jnr  painted blue. The original wood finish 
was much nicer.
They are advertising it as being  able to be used as a 1atm. I doubt it 
would go 15ft before
imploding. I don't have an account  so can't correct them. Someone could 
end up dead
if they were silly enough to buy  it & dive it as a 1 atm. Anyone with an 
account that can  question 
the seller on this. There was  another issue when Doug surfaced too quickly 
with the moon pool
open. The sub bounced &  compressed the internal air making it heavy 
resulting in an uncontrolled  descent.

So my wife Katy and I had a talk the other day and she said wants to  have 
a bay in my shop to do her own project instead of always helping me  on my 
projects. Haha. 
I was curious if anyone knew of any old submarines for sale that she  could 
fix up. A old K-250 or something would be cool. If that doesn't work  she 
said she is building a go cart. Haha
Thanks,
Scott Waters
