But if you live by a port it could be done. If the heads were cut off with CT in tact, they would be a legal truck load. Abandon the mid section and weld the heads together and you have something. You would have to determine the alloy first to make sure it can be welded of coarse. I agree it is a bit crazy, bit it still would not be the biggest PSUB.<br>If I had the money, I would be in Alabama with my hyd diamond saw cutting her into three pieces with a tractor trailer unit<br> sitting next to it. :-) <br>Hank --------------------------------------------<br>On Sun, 3/15/15, Alec Smyth via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles@psubs.org> wrote:<br><br> Subject: Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Fw: Russian Sever 2 submarine<br> To: "Personal Submersibles General Discussion" <personal_submersibles@psubs.org><br> Received: Sunday, March 15, 2015, 11:30 PM<br> <br> Hank, that<br> strikes me as a herculean task. I looked her up, she's<br> 85,000 pounds. Judging from the photo it looks like roughly<br> 40,000 lbs of steel and 45,000 lbs of rust. Methinks<br> you're crazy.

I am sure it can be bought, they<br> did not say NO. My first plan was to haul it home but it<br> is just to much trouble to move that far.

I am happy to pass on<br> any info if anyone wants it.
