[PSUBS-MAILIST] James Bond wetsub

Vance, et al

Bob Brayman is selling his SST Reef Ranger.  This one is currently operational and used at Halls Diving Center in Marathon for advanced diver training.  I dropped by in November in and talked to Bo and took a few photos of the sub. This opportunity is about two years too soon for me to jump on it.  Bob's email to me:

It is the sub that was used in the James Bond movies (Thunderball, and others) and in the movie navy seals with Charlie Sheen. We use it in our diving career courses to train underwater submersibles. You can see it on my website  <http://www.hallsdiving.com> www.hallsdiving.com. We are going through it at this time to make sure it will be in tip top shape. If you are interested please contact me. I have other parties that are also interested. Since we have talked before I thought I would reach out to you first.

How much do I want? I have not decided. I feel like I am selling a dear relative. Contact me if you if you would like to have a shot at buying it.

Sincerely,

Bob Brayman

I watched the Reef Ranger auction to completion, it went for about $9500.  Vance, were you the one who bought this one?  A very good deal considering that Hall's in Marathon was offered $50,000 for theirs and was declined.  Rick in Hawaii had a couple but I never did get his price.

Vance, you mentioned that the molds and tooling may be available from the defunct SST.  Any thoughts?

Tim

I have seen the movie.. 

Means to remember the use two of them. The bad guys use it. 

I think ist was the same movie were they use the underwater Lotus. 

Bond drop a anti tank mine from the underwater car and destroy one of the reef rangers behind him. 

Lot of submarines in that movie.
