Hank,
Just wondering, what is the depth rating of Gamma? How many people does it hold?
Thanks,
Scott Waters

I should also be able to follow with Gamma to 500 if that is what your shooting for.  I will have the barge out there permanently this summer.  I am working out there a lot now so I am making contacts.  I brought Gamma across the border with no trouble.  Canada is much easier on us than the US.  If you like you can go cross country to Montana then cross at Eureka.  I was there yesterday to pick up my AGM's and the Canada border guy said 'hey your the submarine guy" lol  I can meet you there and we can head to Slocan from there. If you have any trouble at the border, I will be there to help.  You really just need proof it is your sub.  You can pick Vance up on the way, :-)  You can head to Nuyco from there and see the all the wonderful DW's Maybe you can sell a store and go home with a DW, :-)
Canada is a very safe place to travel with your trailer, we are not as anal.  Just cover the sub with a good tarp and your set.  
I would be available any time in August.  I am booked for work after that.

Hank,Is
there any special regulations if I were to tow my sub across
the border? I am going to try to figure out how to make this
work. I would feel alot more comfortable putting the sub on
a winch off a barge to depth
test.Thanks,Scott Waters

Scott,
I live in Windermere BC, 5hr from Slocan lake.  Google
Slocan lake BC and you can see the awsome lake and it is
crystal clear.

  Scott,
  You would be well advised to drive how ever far it takes
to
  have ideal conditions. I have lots of experience doing
these
  deep tests and have returned home empty handed. 
  Believe me, it can go bad in a hurry.  Just bring it
up
  to Canada, Slocan lake is 970 feet deep 500 yards off
  shore.  I will help you.
  We can use my barge.

  Jim, I am
  thinking maybe what I should do is bite the bullet
and
  drive
  to lake Seneca, NY. Being able to test right off the
boat
  ramp is pretty desireable. The fastest I can tow is 4
mph,
  but that is in calm circumstances. If it is wavy like
the
  ocean, or great lakes can be, that would be very
rought
  several hour tow. Unless someone has a working class
boat
  with a crane they would loan me?
  Hehe.Thanks,Scott Waters

    Holy

    can't Kansas have a deep clear lake?

    Hi Scott,
    I'm about  18 miles inland at
    Manitowoc and can offer a place to stay as well as
a
  well
    equiped shop. I am planning to test mine soon also!
  Just
  had
    it out last weekend for a bit. Manitowoc has an
  exceptional

    ramp for launching etc. The bad news is that it is
  about
  21
    miles out to get to 450 feet of depth.

    Chris,
    Looks like I would have to go to the upper lake to
    avoid having to go out to the center. I might be
  better
    going Fremont Lake, WY. That is a 12 hour drive for
  me. I
    think I would be a little more protected from the

    elements

    Thanks,

    Scott, check out the bathymetry of the lake
    to see where you can test it to 450'

http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/image/michiganlarge.jpg

    I'm in the Chicago area, but don't have any
    contacts. I can help with support if needed.

    Scott, If you go to Lake Michigan let me
know. 
  I am
    close enough I could be support or whatever. You
  should
  hear

    have contacts/experience.

    After doing some research, I think my best shot
    for a depth test to 450' is lake Michigan. Any

  have
    a contact in that area for help with this test?
Lake
    Michigan is about 10 hours away for me and offers
  plenty
  of

    depth, unless someone has another suggestion?
