Wow!!!
 
Thanks guys! I'm very happy to win the award!
 
Building a sub on a small budget can be very frustrating at time. But I'm still happy at how BIG is doing. Even if I only dove it to 15 feet deep so far. This winter I'm removing the small wheels and building a trailer for it. Also adding 2 soft ballast for more suface freeboard and easyer dumping/retrival at the ramp. I also plan to instale some more windows all around it...
 
So, thanks again. The award does mean very much to me!

Hi,
 
Here are the 2005 PSUBS Award winners.
 
You may note that this year I chose some double winners. Pierre deserves recognition for making a successful submersible with some unique design features on a limited budget. I feel that is just as important as the awesome Kraka.
 
Ray and Jon are inseparable. Like twins? Without either of them there wouldn't be a PSUBS.
