Good morning, Mark,
If you haven't already done so, I would recommend getting  inside a 
completed K-250 and a completed K-350 before your decide which one to  build.

Interesting life story of George Kitteredge - the discovery channel  should 
do an episode.

I too will be building a K-250 from  scratch.  Does anyone have an rough 
estimate of the number of K-x50's  that exist?  Would most, if not all, be 
members of  psubs.org?

one-oh-seven rather than number seven--it sounded grander. They thought  that 
maybe...MAYBE...as many as 50 home builds were actually started out of  the 
400-odd sets of plans he eventually sold. As a side note, the Japanese sub  
earned George well over $400k due to vast complications with the certifying  
agency. And old George could well afford to mosey around the world at his  
leisure both before and after Kittredge Industries ever existed.

but "sold to others" is probably more like 56.  He did have a  shop in Warren 
Maine but not sure how many people he employed.  The K-600  info is 
accurate, I've got all the paperwork and notes from the  project.

he built those all himself.  Very cool history though.
