Scott,
You could do just what Vance says and down the road if you like you could swap out the hull with a HY-100 hull. This way you get more experience and have the ability to upgrade. That is funny really, upgrade from 2,700 feet to what? :-)

You'll get plenty of encouragement from us,
I would think, along with an appropriate amount of razzing.
Don't worry about the nay-sayers. I would remind you
that Karl Stanley has been listening to that shit for years.
Well, not listening exactly, because he went ahead in spite
of them, and looks pretty cheerful about the results. Who
wouldn't be?
And
speaking of Idabel, have you thought about multiple spheres?
I talked to Karl in New Orleans a couple of years ago, and
did some figuring afterwards. A couple of intersecting
5' spheres with a free flooding sail and a few small
cameras might get you a 5-tonnish sub. Do the big Perry
style viewport in front with maybe some 12-inchers on either
side in both hulls? Maybe a dome hatch/conn on top in the
back sphere? It might need some foam to float, but that
isn't much of a problem these days. Hmm.
Idabel's aft sphere and conning tower are
A516GR70, in case you were wondering. You'd have to run
some numbers. Maybe .75" wall? I'm not sure.
Something to think about, anyway. And small is good for
psubs, right?
Vance

Scott,
you made a
K350 in record time & you are relatively young as a sub
builder.
I would
encourage you to build, as you will increase
your
knowledge
& skill base in the process & save money. Who knows
where
it
will go from there.

Scott,
If you are okay with purchasing a
1000m sub rather than building it, then what are your
thoughts on the Triton line? Pricey?

Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Scott's new sub
Hank,
The records I have of
Pisces say they are made of HY-100 and capable to 2000
meters.
1000 feet isn't
enough of a challenge for me. My goal is 3,300 feet or more,
but may have no choice to shallow it up because of material,
but we will see. The plan is to have enough redundancy and
enough safety features like jettisonable manipulator arms
and even a jettisonable personel sphere that it is as safe
as it can be at that depth.
Thanks,
Scott Waters

Scott,
I thought Vance said
they were 516-70, I must have read it wrong. I don't
know what your planning with a 1,000m capable sub. I
can't imagine diving that deep with no means of
rescue. Are you planning on two subs maybe? Don't
get me wrong, I love the idea. What about copying one in
516-70 and live with the depth capability. I would imagine
you could see 1,000 feet plus, a very respectable and
affordable Psub.

I would
love to, except a Pisces is HY-100, which I am
having a
terrible time getting that
material. I'd love to go on a
deep dive
with you though! I am going to Seneca lake New
York this April for some deep diving. Might be
also going to
lake Michigan this year
too.Thanks,Scott Waters

Hi Scott,
Maybe you could save some money and time if you
just copy a
pices sub. Check with the folks
at Nuytco, maybe you can
crawl around the
sub with caliper in hand. Perhaps you
could even look at the drawings, I am sure they
are with the
sub. When your done measuring
the sub, swing by and we
can go for a spin
in a deep lake.
Hank
