RE: cost of sub certification - If you do all the test documentation, plan approval docs, FEA’s, Von Mises, construction drawings, electronic schematics, piping diagrams and sub-system drawings, yourself – figure about $50,000.

BTW, putting a patentable idea out in the ‘public domain’ most certainly doesn’t safeguard against anyone copying it – in fact, it may well be the exact opposite! ‘Public Disclosure’ may well prohibit the ability to engage the patent  process, period. (Not trying to chuck cold water, but check the US patent act and that’s what you’ll find . . . if you intend to disclose prior to patenting, then at least apply for a ‘Provisional Patent’ – dirt  cheap, and protects you for 12 months or so )

Hi Jon,
someone may have more knowledge on this but I think that
because you have put your idea out in the public domain
it may be regarded as "prior art work" safe guarding you against
anybody patenting your idea.
Can anybody have a guess at what classification for a boat similar
to a K350 would cost in fees to an agency, aside from all the additional
costs in getting together all the documentation etc.
Alan

And nobody better steal my idea until I patent it.
