[PSUBS-MAILIST] SeaQuestor update

[David Colombo via Personal_Submersibles]

Alan, Alec, thanks for the advice. I worked a number of years ago with this
manufacture doing layup when we where building fiberglass underground work
environments for the oil industry that I had designed. So I have just
enough experience to be dangerous. I just didn't want to go thru the usual
- plug- mold- and part process. I'm still going to move forward with rib
station system as I can use it for fit up of plumbing and wire looms, while
looking for another cnc shop to cut foam and the hull is at the welders.
