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

Thu Feb 22 07:00:07 EST 2018

 Alan,  the price is great considering what it would cost to build from scratch.  I still think it is to much, only because one day it will need to be sold.  The fact that they can't sell it at 80K  speaks to the market value.  It is only worth what someone will pay for it.Hugh raises a very good point about it being a sea sick machine.  I think a big lake is a perfect place for it.Hank

Hmmm, my budget keeps under $15000cdn.  No joy.

Hank,

Tim talks about his plans for an underwater habitat. Something like that would

be great for the price & it would be mobile! Maybe you could go halves!

Perfect for a huge lake, park in a marina under cover.  It can be launched from the trailer and towed behind my 5 ton.  The only thing I don't like is the depth rating.  Still, if the price drops to my comfort zone, I will buy it.

Crane in, crane out, time to get to diving spot and back, no surface facility.  Too big for super-yachts. Too small to be stable in a sea.   Sea sickness rolling etc. Submersibles need to be transportable or else submarines.  Ask Carsten.  At least his is Autonomous.  High metacentre can be hell for rolling even in a slight sea.  That is my best guess.  Hugh

I wonder what seems to be the problem?   Maybe sea keeping issues?

Guys,

I have spoken with the sales people a couple times and I am getting the feeling that they have no idea what they have there.  They are learning that it is very difficult to sell an uncertified sub.  It also seems like the sub has a bad reputation from when it belonged to Sea Shepard.  I think the sub is fantastic.

Hi Ian, 

Corrosion or ageing of the domes could be a reason for the de-rating.

For a "ready to dive" diesel electric, $80K sounds like a deal:

-submarine-102153353
Lots of pictures.  I like submarine pictures.

More here as well:

Seems it has been de-rated from 1000ft operational depth to "max operating
depth is 300 feet".
Although the wording they use doesn't make perfect sense.  For example, it
claims the collapse depth is 1250ft, but I think they are confused with test
depth (per ABS, 125% of operational depth).
The other ABS claims don't match with my understand of ABS rules either.

Perhaps it can still be rated to 1000ft.

Regardless, this is a beautiful craft, and I am enjoying the (~500?!)
pictures.

Cheers,
  Ian.
