Hmmm, each 33 feet of depth is another atmosphere. Atmosphere is what, 14.7 psi? So 33 feet is 29.4 psi? Wonder how much presure plywood can take? |

-saw this on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2489220926- Bilge- That MUST be the sub in Oakland, CA...I saw that last week. Mentioned it to the gang at muster in the machine shop...we laughed and laughed. The 1st AE, who's an ex-bubblehead,checked it out on his laptop also, which started an entire round of jokes about this...thing... we "doinked" on the monstrosity for the duration of the auction. Nobody in their right mind is going to submerge in a plywood submarine built in some goober's garage, less'n their aim is to commit "sub-maritime suicide"...and let's face it, cinder blocks are lots cheaper.

"Don ßćiley" wrote in message ... Wouldn't this death trap need some certification/registration? db Good point. I have licensed home-built boats before with the water cops, but they really don't care much about the construction. They are more interested in you having all the required safety equipment. I knew one kid who rigged up this home-built boat, with a crappy pulley system, so he could steer the outboard motor from the front. He used duct tape, coat hangers, dog rollers...it was a mess, but the marine inspectors oked him, since he had all the safety requirements. Sorta scary actually... -- -Netsock "It's just about going fast...that's all..." http://home.columbus.rr.com/ckg/ |
