Hi guys, the SeaQuestor pressure hull is well underway. All sails are fit 
and tacked, all thru hull openings are finished.  Even the periscope tube 
was fit today. still need to complete its penetration thru the bottom of 
the hull.  Next week the rear tank and thruster rack, forward camera mount, 
and bottom rail to be completed. I expect to pick up the completed hull 
with the trailer the next  week. Then off to the sand blaster and then the 
welder. This weekend's job is to get the trailer prepped.
 
I do have a question for the group. I am debating as to whether to weld the 
lower frame rail system to the pressure hull, or weld tabs to the hull and 
then bolt to the frame rail which would allow for removal. The frame rail 
system will hold the drop weight system. I would like your thoughts.
 
Best Regards,
David Colombo
