<div dir="ltr">Hi Rick,</div><div dir="ltr">I built this sub originally in 2013 and put it in storage when I bought Gamma. It was in the testing stage and had some stability issues. I stripped parts off it to use in other projects. When we decided to self isolate, I needed a project to help pass time, so I pulled it out from under the tarp and made a big modification to it, to solve the stability problem. I pressure tested it a couple weeks ago to 450 feet at a local lake. I intend to pressure test it again, but to 600 feet. It is turning out to be a very easy and cheap sub to build. In fact, I am confident I could build a new one in one month, it is that simple. Also, I am confident it can be built for under 10K.</div><div dir="ltr">Hank</div><div><br></div>
