Shipping might be a bit more costly.  However They are pretty good at finding the right deals and could even get the shell done for you over there.

The EE machines are probably wasted on a 250 hull.  They have one of the most capable facilities around, and refinery parts are likely much more lucrative than hobby subs.  I wonder if timing is an issue? You might luck out resubmitting when they happen to have a slow period (wait for the price of oil to drop), but then the transport costs probably make the case for getting anything made closer to you if possible.  I can't imagine that shipping something like that is cheap.

I wouldn't consider using anything less then  516 gr 70 when building a pressure hull . Also make sure you ask for the paper work to go with it with the proper heat numbers stamped on all the hull sections. I would also follow up by sending a coupon from each piece to an independent lab for verification .

36 " in diameter . The original K250 plans specified A36 . In the 1960s or 1970s that was acceptable when steel was domestically produced. Most A36 is imported today and of questionable quality .

The K-250 hull is 4 foot long and 30" OD out of 1/4" ASME 516 gr70 correct?
Thanks,
