[PSUBS-MAILIST] Maynard's sub boat

Wed Aug 10 10:45:56 EDT 2016

The HURL sinking pontoon barge seems it would be easy enough to build for a
psub. Buy a craigslist party barge, replace the deck with grating, install
sea-cocks and vents in the pontoons, and then install foam gunwales so that
the barge has positive buoyancy when the pontoons are flooded, but floats
low enough in the water that a K350 can be driven/dragged onboard.

I have a friend with a barge that they flood, drive a 75ft steel hull boat
over, then refloat for use as a drydock.

My only concern would how well a top-heavy pontoon boat handles in offshore
conditions. Not well I'd imagine.
