All sails are fit and tacked, all thru hull openings are finished. Even the periscope tube was fit today. still need to complete its penetration thru the bottom of the hull. Next week the rear tank and thruster rack, forward camera mount, and bottom rail to be completed. I expect to pick up the completed hull with the trailer the next week. Then off to the sand blaster and then the welder. This weekend's job is to get the trailer prepped.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>I do have a question for the group. I am debating as to whether to weld the lower frame rail system to the pressure hull, or weld tabs to the hull and then bolt to the frame rail which would allow for removal. The frame rail system will hold the drop weight system. I would like your thoughts.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Best Regards,<br>David Colombo<br><img border=0 width=200 height=110 id="_x0000_i1025" src="http://static.squarespace.com/static/533310a9e4b0fba62008a464/t/5339c1f2e4b041bac4e25d1b/1396294132055/?format=500w"><br>804 College Ave<br>Santa Rosa, CA. 95404<br>(707) 536-1424<br><a href="http://www.SeaQuestor.com" target="_blank">www.SeaQuestor.com</a><o:p></o:p></p></div></div></div></div></div></div></body></html>
