[PSUBS-MAILIST] launch system

[hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles]

James,
There is not one perfect solution because we all have different needs.  I would love to have wheels on my sub but the ramps are not concrete all the way here.  The disposable trailer is perfect if you have the depth.  
I am actually considering putting ballast tanks on my cart.  So I winch the cart with sub into the lake and they both float to the dock.  Let air out of the cart ballast tanks and float sub out of cart while cart is tied up to dock.  In the mean time my helper is parking the truck.

Hi Hank,
 
Thanks for that.  Ive been looking at ramps all
week.  Ive made wheels for the replacement skids and also
got some more wheels for a cart.  Will need ramps, legs and
a new winch.
 
But im thinking i might be over complicating things. 
Ive also made a long 4m pole extention for the trailer and
im tempted to just dump the trailer in the water for
launching and consider it disposable.  Buy a new one when
it rots away. 


regards
James

James,
I thought I would give you some info on ramps.  I
started with 4 foot long ramps and they were to short.  I
switched to 7 foot long ramps and that is perfect.  I have
2 inches clearance under my cart frame and the trailer deck
is 18 inches high.  Also, I am sue you know already, but
support legs at the back of the trailer are a must.  

Hank
