[PSUBS-MAILIST] K-250

[Sean T. Stevenson via Personal_Submersibles]

The EE machines are probably wasted on a 250 hull.  They have one of the most capable facilities around, and refinery parts are likely much more lucrative than hobby subs.  I wonder if timing is an issue? You might luck out resubmitting when they happen to have a slow period (wait for the price of oil to drop), but then the transport costs probably make the case for getting anything made closer to you if possible.  I can't imagine that shipping something like that is cheap.
