Scott,
You could do just what Vance says and down the road if you like you could swap out the hull with a HY-100 hull.  This way you get more experience and have the ability to upgrade.  That is funny really, upgrade from 2,700 feet to what? :-)

 You'll get plenty of encouragement from us,
 I would think, along with an appropriate amount of razzing.
 Don't worry about the nay-sayers. I would remind you
 that Karl Stanley has been listening to that shit for years.
 Well, not listening exactly, because he went ahead in spite
 of them, and looks pretty cheerful about the results. Who
 wouldn't be?
 
 
 
 
 And
 speaking of Idabel, have you thought about multiple spheres?
 I talked to Karl in New Orleans a couple of years ago, and
 did some figuring afterwards. A couple of intersecting
 5' spheres  with a free flooding sail and a few small
 cameras might get you a 5-tonnish sub. Do the big Perry
 style viewport in front with maybe some 12-inchers on either
 side in both hulls? Maybe a dome hatch/conn on top in the
 back sphere? It might need some foam to float, but that
 isn't much of a problem these days. Hmm.
 
 
 
 
 
 Idabel's aft sphere and conning tower are
 A516GR70, in case you were wondering. You'd have to run
 some numbers. Maybe .75" wall? I'm not sure.
 Something to think about, anyway. And small is good for
 psubs, right?

 Scott,
 
 you made a
 K350 in record time & you are relatively young as a sub
 builder.
 
 I would
 encourage you to build, as you will increase
 your
 
 knowledge
 & skill base in the process & save money. Who knows
 where 
 
 it
 will go from there.
 
 Alan

 Scott,
 
   
 
 If you are okay with purchasing a
 1000m sub rather than building it, then what are your
 thoughts on the Triton line?  Pricey?

 Hank,
 
 
 
 The records I have of
 Pisces say they are made of HY-100 and capable to 2000
 meters. 
 
 
 
 1000 feet isn't
 enough of a challenge for me. My goal is 3,300 feet or more,
 but may have no choice to shallow it up because of material,
 but we will see. The plan is to have enough redundancy and
 enough safety features like jettisonable manipulator arms
 and even a jettisonable personel sphere that it is as safe
 as it can be at that depth.
 
 
 
 Thanks,
 
 
 
 Scott Waters

 Scott,
 I thought Vance said
 they were 516-70, I must have read it wrong.  I don't
 know what your planning  with a 1,000m capable sub.  I
 can't imagine diving that deep with no means of
 rescue.  Are you planning on two subs maybe?  Don't
 get me wrong, I love the idea.  What about copying one in
 516-70 and live with the depth capability.  I would imagine
 you could see 1,000 feet plus, a very respectable and
 affordable Psub.

 I would
 love to, except a Pisces is HY-100, which I am
 having a
 terrible time getting that
 material. I'd love to go on a
 deep dive
 with you though! I am going to Seneca lake New
 York this April for some deep diving. Might be
 also going to
 lake Michigan this year
 too.Thanks,Scott Waters

 Hi Scott,
 Maybe you could save some money and time if you
 just copy a
 pices sub. Check with the folks
 at Nuytco, maybe you can
 crawl around the
 sub with caliper in hand.  Perhaps you
 could even look at the drawings, I am sure they
 are with the
 sub.  When your done measuring
 the sub, swing by and we
 can go for a spin
 in a deep lake.
 Hank
