Currently working on modifying a 2014 aluminum boat trailer for the submarine, which is already trying my patience. I didn't expect working on the trailer to take as much time as it has, nor cost as much as it will end up, but am satisfied that it will last for a good long time once it is finished. Or perhaps I should say, it BETTER!! I have consulted with some PSUBBERS privately and believe there is a need to add cross-bar members to absorb the more concentrated weight "fingerprint" of the submarine. Seen the price of aluminum lately?</span></div><div dir="ltr" id="m_-2092415582858800998m_-4950390641838392216yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1525698088028_22325"><span><br></span></div><div dir="ltr" id="m_-2092415582858800998m_-4950390641838392216yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1525698088028_22325"><span>Jon</span></div><div class="m_-2092415582858800998m_-4950390641838392216qtdSeparateBR" id="m_-2092415582858800998m_-4950390641838392216yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1525698088028_22323"><br><br></div><div class="m_-2092415582858800998m_-4950390641838392216yahoo_quoted" id="m_-2092415582858800998m_-4950390641838392216yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1525698088028_22265" style="display:block"> <div style="font-family:times new roman,new york,times,serif;font-size:16px" id="m_-2092415582858800998m_-4950390641838392216yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1525698088028_22264"> <div style="font-family:HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif;font-size:16px" id="m_-2092415582858800998m_-4950390641838392216yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1525698088028_22263"> <div dir="ltr" id="m_-2092415582858800998m_-4950390641838392216yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1525698088028_22262"> <font size="2" face="Arial" id="m_-2092415582858800998m_-4950390641838392216yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1525698088028_22322"> <hr size="1" id="m_-2092415582858800998m_-4950390641838392216yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1525698088028_22335"> <b><span style="font-weight:bold">From:</span></b> David Colombo via Personal_Submersibles <<a href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">personal_submersibles@psubs.<wbr>org</a>><br> <b><span style="font-weight:bold">To:</span></b> <a href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">personal_submersibles@psubs.<wbr>org</a> <br> <b><span style="font-weight:bold">Sent:</span></b> Sunday, May 6, 2018 9:38 PM<br> <b><span style="font-weight:bold">Subject:</span></b> [PSUBS-MAILIST] SeaQuestor project starts hull Fabrication.<br> </font> </div> <div class="m_-2092415582858800998m_-4950390641838392216y_msg_container" id="m_-2092415582858800998m_-4950390641838392216yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1525698088028_22266"><br><div id="m_-2092415582858800998m_-4950390641838392216yiv7669307538"><div id="m_-2092415582858800998m_-4950390641838392216yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1525698088028_22267">Hi all it's been an interesting road this last year, with half of Sonoma County burned to the ground, and Wyvonne being diagnosed with cancer. But I am busy designing new homes for the rebuild and Wy is doing well with treatments. So here is some exciting news, the SeaQuestor will officially be under construction tomorrow. The hull drawings have been completed and the steel fabrication contracts agreed upon. So over the next 4-5 weeks the hull sections should be fabricated and all of the stainless steel hatch rings will be waterjet cut and milled. Exciting moment in history. I have permission to film all phases of fabrication as part of my contracts. So stay tuned for videos to come.<div id="m_-2092415582858800998m_-4950390641838392216yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1525698088028_22268">Best Regards,</div><div id="m_-2092415582858800998m_-4950390641838392216yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1525698088028_22269">David Colombo</div><div id="m_-2092415582858800998m_-4950390641838392216yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1525698088028_22270">SeaQuestor.</div></div></div>______________________________<wbr>_________________<br>Personal_Submersibles mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org" id="m_-2092415582858800998m_-4950390641838392216yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1525698088028_22836" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">Personal_Submersibles@psubs.<wbr>org</a><br><a href="http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles" id="m_-2092415582858800998m_-4950390641838392216yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1525698088028_22837" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.psubs.org/mailman/<wbr>listinfo.cgi/personal_<wbr>submersibles</a><br><br><br></div> </div> </div> </div></div></div>______________________________<wbr>_________________<br>
