[PSUBS-MAILIST] Marlin s101 for sale $80k (lots of pictures)

[Hugh Fulton via Personal_Submersibles]

Crane in, crane out, time to get to diving spot and back, no surface facility.  Too big for super-yachts. Too small to be stable in a sea.   Sea sickness rolling etc. Submersibles need to be transportable or else submarines.  Ask Carsten.  At least his is Autonomous.  High metacentre can be hell for rolling even in a slight sea.  That is my best guess.  Hugh

I wonder what seems to be the problem?   Maybe sea keeping issues?

Guys,

I have spoken with the sales people a couple times and I am getting the feeling that they have no idea what they have there.  They are learning that it is very difficult to sell an uncertified sub.  It also seems like the sub has a bad reputation from when it belonged to Sea Shepard.  I think the sub is fantastic.

Hi Ian, 

Corrosion or ageing of the domes could be a reason for the de-rating.

For a "ready to dive" diesel electric, $80K sounds like a deal:

Lots of pictures.  I like submarine pictures.

Seems it has been de-rated from 1000ft operational depth to "max operating
depth is 300 feet".
Although the wording they use doesn't make perfect sense.  For example, it
claims the collapse depth is 1250ft, but I think they are confused with test
depth (per ABS, 125% of operational depth).
The other ABS claims don't match with my understand of ABS rules either.

Perhaps it can still be rated to 1000ft.

Regardless, this is a beautiful craft, and I am enjoying the (~500?!)
pictures.

Cheers,
  Ian.
