[PSUBS-MAILIST] (no subject)

Doug,
The senior Sievert was a master mold maker and custom fiberglas artist (among other things). The skins on all the Snoopers were made in house, along with the main ballast tanks underneath. All were fiberglas. Beautifully made, too.
Side note: Curt uses PVC tubing and valving for his main ballast vents, mounted outside. I asked him about that. He said his entire vent system cost about a hundred bucks, and works just fine, thank you very much. They've always done that, apparently.

Bummer, sorry to hear that (although not surprised either). 
At least she's on 'permanent display' on the big screen. ~ Doug

Doug,I was at Kurt's backyard shop in Callie with Snooper II out in the yard and Snooper III almost finished as a new build. When I asked about his Dad's original sub (this was after the old man died), Kurt just laughed and shrugged. Said his Dad ran out of room in the shop while they were doing Snooper II, and scrapped it out just to clear some floor space. Sad end. Kurt agreed. Said he'd really like to have them all for some kind of display. They competed directly with Doug Privitt and Marfab (the Nektons) and did a ton of work, mostly in California. Losing the original sub to the scrap heap was a sad day, no doubt.Vance

Hey, thanks for chiming in Vance. Any idea what happened to 'Snooper' / where she is now? ~ Doug

It is the same size as a K-350, in fact, but with hemispherical end caps and some nice external fiberglas work for streamlining.. 36" OD pressure hull, 1/2" thick.Vance

I’m not sure what sub it was, but definitely bigger (and deeper diving) than a K-boat. Could probably look it up in the Busby book. Doug S.

Funny, I named my little ambient sub 'Snark' after the 1-atm sub in one of my favorite sub movies, 'Grey Lady Down.' Wasn't aware of any K-boats with the name. Do you know who owns it? ~ Doug S.
