size=2>Hi Scott the asking price for Peppers
just as exsample is just the material cost. </font> <BR><BR>A
sub
like the blue one Arg.J. Without the engine and lead - I would not spend
more
than 1-2 K USD.<BR>Fact is I would not spend even 1 USD. Its a beautiful
museums
item but not more. <BR><BR>A ocean going full operational Diesel
Electric Psub
without class like Euronaut is something 4-5 Mill USD. <BR>Same with
class -
just double the figure. <BR><BR>A K boat rusty hull - or a rusty propane
tank
sub I would not purchase - its cheaper to build a new hull. <BR><BR>Many
prices
on the market are not realistic. The Seahorse was new some 25 Years ago
5 Mill
USd - and over <BR>20 years for sale for 1,3. Nobody want it. now it is
0,13 and
still nobody want it.. Same with some toursit sub out of class. <BR>This
large
sub - not functional, clss outdated and need a general overhauld are not
more
worth than just the scrapp metal price. <BR><BR>The Mantis is pretty old
and
without class - I would puchase it - but not for 40K as request.
<BR>Maybe 5 K is realistic. <BR><BR>Vance knows the story. Many
years ago I
inspect the Margennaut at Ft. Lauderdale. <BR>Asking price was just 20K
USD not
bad for a 13m - 30 ts sub.<BR>But I calculate tah trasnport, overhaul,
rebuild
to my requirements cos me another 130K. <BR>On that days I decide to
build my
own sub. <BR><BR>A second hand sub makes only sence if it in general
fullfill
your requirements list. <BR><BR>vbr Carsten

><span>What can you compare it too, a muscle car? You can buy
beautifully restored muscle cars for a fraction of the cost to build
one. PSUB's also, are a labour of love, a toy, no
different than a boat or a car. </span></div><div

><span>All you can do is look at recent sales. Lake Diver, a
well proven sub did not sell for the asking price and was for sale for a
long time. I think he was asking 45K. I have no idea what the
status is on it now. A K350 sold at auction for under 20K If I
recall. I have my own formula, for a base price, 10
dollars per foot of dive capability. I think that number is about
right, for a functioning non certified PSUB. I
know some PSUB owners are saying "I would never sell for
that" but I think that is the reality. Only the chosen few
make money on a toy :-)</span></div><div style="FONT-SIZE: 16px;
