<div>Cool. Thanks guys. I got some good ides how to
correct the problem and still not clutter the cabin.
I am going to attach plates to my skids. My "T" skid
design would work perfectly for this. I am also
thinking of useing some lead shot under the floor
boards. </div>
<div>Alec, I was up all night before the launch
putting finishing touches on it. We have been
working like crazy to make sure it is ready to go. </div>
<div>It was covered by the Kansas first news and
several news papers too. So psubs got some
publicity. </div>
<div>Thanks guys,</div>

<div dir="ltr">Excellent, congrats! You went from
asking how to bond your viewports to testing them in
just a couple of days, you must be working like
crazy getting Trustworthy ready for the convention.
Well, as you can see in the responses the boats are
typically light. I seem to recall Dan H. or Harold
Maynard - a K350 whichever it was - saying they had
400 lbs of lead in the cabin. And remember for salt
water you'll need a lot more (3% of your
displacement more).

<div>I'm really looking forward to seeing
Trustworthy in a few weeks, there's nothing like a
shiny new boat. </div>

<div>Hey guys. I did the first dive in
trustworthy. The boat is bone dry with no
leaks or even weeping after being in the
water for three hours. I did have a few
electrical problems due to not getting the
grounding bolt area clean enough of epoxy
paint, but that is a easy fix. A problem I
had was not weighing enough. It was me and a
buddy we both weigh 175 pounds or so. The
two drop weights are 250 pounds total (same
as kitteredge). I ended up putting 100
pounds of lifting weights, about 200 pounds
of old jacks and it still wouldn't go down.
I had the safty dives stand on it and it
went down. After scrathing my head for a
while I decided the scuba tanks on the
outside which had 100 pounds negative boancy
now is close to 0 boyancy so that makes due
for a little, of the extra floatation. But
what about the extra weight of the jacks and
the divers? The only thing I can think of is
the tanks were not venting well. I notice
they got hydro locked way to easy. It seems
like the 1/2 " line is way to small. So the
only thing I can figure out is maybe the
ballest tanks were not venting all the way.
Everything about my sub is built just like
the blue prints so that is the only thing I
can think of about it being to bouant. Any
thoughts?</div>
