[PSUBS-MAILIST] SeaQuestor build update

[Alec Smyth via Personal_Submersibles]

Super quick progress Dave! As a general rule, everything you can bolt on I
would bolt on. The tabs for bolting should be 316 SS, and everything you
bolt on should be 316 SS too if at all possible. And the bolts should be
316. I think you get the picture...
