First test was all good, Elementary 3000 tows nice and strait but slow.  It took me 1\2 hr to go about 1.5 -2 miles.    The launching of both boat and sub is also good except I need to make a small change to the front roller the boat sits on, it is to high.  The only tough part is installing the 30 hp motor while the boat is in the water.  I have to take it slow and it is kinda heavy.    I have to install and remove the mother each time I launch and retrieve.I am going to rig up a slide so that when I pull on the rope to retrieve the sub, a tray will tip out the weights that make it sink.  Then the rope will pull on the valve mechanism in case the sub has taken on water weight.   It is pretty hard on the hands pulling it up with such a small line, even with heavy welding gloves on.  This way it will come up on its own.Hank
