<DIV style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif; font-size:10pt;"><DIV>Hank, </DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV> Haven't fired it up yet. First I need to cut a big hole ( 10" dia) in thru the bottom of my ferro cement hull , then I need to take some measurements to see what size to make the lead ingots, need to have them fit in between the ribs of the ferro hull. Then after that I'm probably going to have to add an extra axle to my trailer, so a bit of a set back for me.</DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV>Brian </DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV><BR>--- personal_submersibles@psubs.org wrote:<BR><BR>From: hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles@psubs.org><BR>To: Personal Submersibles General Discussion <personal_submersibles@psubs.org><BR>Subject: Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] deep test<BR>Date: Fri, 8 Jul 2016 10:11:24 +0000 (UTC)<BR><BR></DIV><DIV style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><DIV><SPAN>Brain,</SPAN></DIV><DIV dir="ltr"><SPAN>The original plan was to sink Gamma on a rope from my fishing boat.

So I am back to the safe method. I have hauled my portable barge home and am going through the hydraulic winch stuff and I have put a nice little diesel engine on the hydraulic pump to power the winch. The winch is a 12,000 lb Ramsey with home made hydraulic drive. I am putting a new 1,000 foot spool of 3\8 cable on so I can reach the bottom. Luckily my pickup truck can tow the barge (6,500 lbs) so that is nice. I will haul the barge one day and return with the sub the next. It is a 12 hr round trip, so this whole adventure will take several days. I might leave the barge out there and return with Elementary 3,000 and sink it also.</DIV><DIV>Tim, if your around?
