Hi David,

Your design looks like fun.

I am concerned with your design for strength.  Have you done an FEA on it?

Please contact me off-line.  hfulton at q-subs.com

Hi guys, the SeaQuestor pressure hull is well underway. All sails are fit and tacked, all thru hull openings are finished.  Even the periscope tube was fit today. still need to complete its penetration thru the bottom of the hull.  Next week the rear tank and thruster rack, forward camera mount, and bottom rail to be completed. I expect to pick up the completed hull with the trailer the next  week. Then off to the sand blaster and then the welder. This weekend's job is to get the trailer prepped.

 

I do have a question for the group. I am debating as to whether to weld the lower frame rail system to the pressure hull, or weld tabs to the hull and then bolt to the frame rail which would allow for removal. The frame rail system will hold the drop weight system. I would like your thoughts.

 

Best Regards,
David Colombo
