<div dir="ltr">Tim, My concern is about not having buoyancy inside the hull. I am just wondering if there is any reason putting air tight buckets inside the hull could be a problem. Maybe for inspections? Seems like a good idea to me-given the low cost and the insurance of not sinking.</div><div dir="ltr">Hank</div><div><br clear="none"></div>

That should solve your concern. There are loads of barges out there made with solid foam blocks between the bulkhead frames.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;color:#1F497D;">Tim</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;color:#1F497D;"> </span></p><div><div><div style="border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in;"><p><b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;">From:</span></b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;"> Personal_Submersibles [mailto:personal_submersibles-bounces@psubs.org] <b>On Behalf Of </b>hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles<br clear="none"><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, July 9, 2020 5:18 AM<br clear="none"><b>To:</b> Personal Submersibles General Discussion <personal_submersibles@psubs.org><br clear="none"><b>Subject:</b> [PSUBS-MAILIST] Landing craft</span></p></div></div><p> </p><div><div><p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;">Hi All, after talking about it for years I have finally started building my sub launching landing craft. I abandoned the barge idea for logistic reasons. I am repurposing the hull from my paddle wheel boat. I am well under way and should have the hull mods done in a week or so. I was planning to use an A- frame to lift the sub into the water. I have changed my mind and am sloping the front deck into the water and making a strong fold down ramp \ door to just winch the sub onto the deck. </span></p></div><div><p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;"> </span></p></div><div><p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;">I am new to this and am very paranoid on these huge lakes. There are a lot of boats on the bottom! My plan was to fill the hull void with plastic drums to make it un-sinkable. I can not source barrels close to home-I can get 150 5 gallon plastic buckets for 150 dollars. I am thinking of filling the hull void with buckets. Any reason this is a bad idea? I will leave a crawl space down the middle for inspection purposes.</span></p></div><div><p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;">Hank</span></p></div></div></div></div></div></div><div>_______________________________________________<br clear="none">Personal_Submersibles mailing list<br clear="none"><a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org" target="_blank" href="mailto:Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org">Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org</a><br clear="none"><a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" target="_blank" href="http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles">http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles</a><br clear="none"></div></div></div>
