Steve,
Thanks' the lake test was uneventful. The cart floated very even front to back but had a bad list. I corrected it by removing styro from the one ballast tank. The true test of the cart comes next week when I start diving Gamma.

Hi
guys,
I have posted pictures of my launch cart in action with
Gamma onboard. The cart can drive onto the trailer with
Gamma on it. The cart spins out at the top of the ramps
because there is not enough traction on the frozen wood
deck. The ballast pontoons are temporary to establish what
will work best. Once I have it perfected I will have
aluminum pontoons built. Tomorrow I am driving out to a
lake to test the cart's ballast system and make sure of
the freeboard before launching the sub.
Hank
