I feel like my K boat is only good for a observation boat currently, until I design a good manipulator arm. It's a dream of mine to go into sub work for a living, but I probably ought to stay with what I am good at and keep growing retail stores to fuel my hobby. I really enjoy the little bit of low vis lake work I do a few times a year. Maybe some day an oprotunity will come up. </div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Scott Waters</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div style="font-size:75%;color:#575757">Sent from my U.S. Cellular© Smartphone</div></div> <br>Vance Bradley <VBra676539@AOL.com> wrote:<br><div>Scott,</div><div>Prices range up from $3500/day (plus consumables) and more for a sub and crew with ship costs above that. If your customer supplies the vessel, they pay. If you arrange for it, then I'd say costs times 150% plus consumables at the least. For an observation sub/support vessel back in the day we charged $14K/day. Five years later HBOI was running $16K//day. Who knows how much it costs for Alvin today. Kittredge usually charged $1K/day if he could get it for a sub and pilot.</div><div>Vance</div><div><br>Sent from my iPhone</div><div><br>On Apr 13, 2014, at 5:45 PM, swaters <<a href="mailto:swaters@waters-ks.com">swaters@waters-ks.com</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"><div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); ">How does delta oceanographics find work?
