[PSUBS-MAILIST] Marlin s101 for sale $80k (lots of pictures)

[Alec Smyth via Personal_Submersibles]

I agree, in fact I would have bought it myself if I weren't on a bit of a
budget at the moment. It's too big for my garage and too heavy for my tow
vehicle, but a dream sub in every respect. The thing is, the people on this
email list are probably the only ones who would know what to do with it,
while the general public would take one look inside and wonder where to
start.

Best,

Alec
