Was thinking that with all the space above your head, maybe you could have
a large telescopic acrylic
cylinder the diameter of your hatch that you can push up as wave
protection. Then you would be able to see through it
while cruising on the surface.

seating
Thanks guys.
Yes, the bottom rails have the sliding seat rollers, floor mounts, and
contain the sliding ballast weight in case the sub gets inverted. As for
pneumatics, I was thinking about Jon's idea presented last year about having a
blow-up doll as a distress buoy. It would get the attention of any passing
boater. 'Course, not sure I'd want to be rescued too soon !
Really though, I was trying to convey the amount of room inside with
a scale size body. The center seat section has the "U" shape so it snuggles up
close to the front window when the seat is reclined. With an inside diameter
of 7 feet, there's room to stretch out for two people, to peer through the
front 20" window. One of those "mirror balls" like the ones used in old
fashioned ballrooms would look cool in there.
The scale is off a little . The battery banks don't really take up that
much room.
