Hi Mark,

Is that the one with a lock-out, or is that a different Mark?  We  would 
love to see some pics.

Hi Jim,

Thanks for the good advise.  I did.  I had the pleasure to  spend an 
incredible and informative day with Alec and Scott last month in  Summersville, 
WV. Alec took me for my first dive in Snoopy.  I also met  Katy, Dan and Steve 
McQueen.

My son and I are just finishing up our first two man sub.  Once  completed, 
I plan to build by own sub, a K-250.  Katy and I can compete  to see who 
finishes first:)

Good morning, Mark,
If you haven't already done so, I would recommend getting  inside a 
completed K-250 and a completed K-350 before your decide which one  to build.

Interesting life story of George Kitteredge - the discovery  channel should 
do an episode.

I too will be building a K-250 from  scratch.  Does anyone have an rough 
estimate of the number of K-x50's  that exist?  Would most, if not all, be 
members of _psubs.org_ (http://psubs.org/) ?

factory built boats. #45 & 46. The 100 thing  was just so they could say 
one-oh-seven rather than number seven--it  sounded grander. They thought that 
maybe...MAYBE...as many as 50 home  builds were actually started out of the 
400-odd sets of plans he  eventually sold. As a side note, the Japanese sub 
earned George well over  $400k due to vast complications with the certifying 
agency. And old George  could well afford to mosey around the world at his 
leisure both before and  after Kittredge Industries ever existed.

check again my notes and I  suspect Greg Cottrel may know off the top of head, 
but "sold to others" is  probably more like 56.  He did have a shop in Warren 
Maine but not  sure how many people he employed.  The K-600 info is 
accurate, I've  got all the paperwork and notes from the project.
