<DIV>any idea what the two floats provide in buoyancy?</DIV>

<P dir=ltr>Hi Rick, here is a quote on the floats I just got. The 551
float is $10.80 ea., less 10% per carton of 18. The 364 float is $6.00
ea., less 10% per carton of 72. I will be ordering some of each, but not enough
for 18 or 72. </P>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'">I was
thinking of testing both my battery pods to 600’ before I weld them to the
hull so that if there are any issues with leakage I would still be able to get
them on a lathe. I added two vents per pod with O rings so that I can
push/suck air across the batteries while charging so there are a couple of
more places for leaks to occur. I did the calks' and they weigh in at 295 LBS.
each dry with a negative displacement of around 30 lbs. I was hoping that they
would barley float with no batteries in them so that I could weight them just
slightly negative for ease of launching and retrieving but that’s not the
case. I need to come up with about 30 lbs. of positive buoyancy and don’t have
any syntactic foam so I figured I could strap some 4” X 4”, on them to achieve
that. This may be a dumb question but does anyone happen to know the per foot
buoyancy of a 4” X 4” in sea water? If not I’ll head down to the ocean and
start testing.<U></U><U></U></SPAN></P></DIV>

mentioned the other week about my desire to omit the plate that is welded to

could comment on that.<U></U><U></U></SPAN></P></DIV>
