Thanks' the lake test was uneventful. The cart floated very even front to back but had a bad list. I corrected it by removing styro from the one ballast tank. The true test of the cart comes next week when I start diving Gamma.<br>

Hi<br>
guys,<br>
<br>
I have posted pictures of my launch cart in action with<br>
Gamma onboard. The cart can drive onto the trailer with<br>
Gamma on it. The cart spins out at the top of the ramps<br>
because there is not enough traction on the frozen wood<br>
deck. The ballast pontoons are temporary to establish what<br>
will work best. Once I have it perfected I will have<br>
aluminum pontoons built. Tomorrow I am driving out to a<br>
lake to test the cart's ballast system and make sure of<br>
the freeboard before launching the sub.<br>
<br>
Hank<br>
