<div>Brian,</div><div>I always thought those hoops were for a cover. You can make the cover without making a plug. I do it all the time, it just means you have to have to do some filler work, but that is easy. </div><div>Hank</div><div><br></div>

I should be hell bent on submerging at this point, since I'm so close, but that means a trip to the boat yard and more money spent on the travel lift and a tow down there. I figure since I've got the electronics to re-do and a few other issues to deal with I might as well make the thing look a bit sexier. Means I have to build a plug and make a mold and then do a gel coat finish for the fiberglass cover. I also have to build an extra step just below the existing teak deck. Also need an electric air pump for ballast on the surface, also need to re-do my HP air, I want to get rid of that huge 300 cu ft air cylinder and replace it with multiple aluminum 80's . And I need to buy a HP compressor !! I sure I probably for got something.</font></font></div><div style=""><font size="2" style=""><font face="Arial, sans-serif"><br></font></font></div><div style=""><font size="2" style=""><font face="Arial, sans-serif">Brian</font></font></div><div style=""><font size="2" style=""><font face="Arial, sans-serif"><br></font></font></div><div style=""><font size="2" style=""><font face="Arial, sans-serif"> </font></font></div></div></div>_______________________________________________<br>Personal_Submersibles mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org" href="mailto:Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org">Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org</a><br><a href="http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles" target="_blank">http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles</a><br></div>
