[PSUBS-MAILIST] Fw: Taurus sub

[T Novak via Personal_Submersibles]

Alan,

You nailed it with the underwater habitat thought.  At 21fsw hatch pressure this vessel would require just a coat of new paint.  I should bid $10,000.  With shipping it might just work out.  Hmmm.

Tim,

I am not sure whether this is the same submarine, i.e. were there more than one Taurus

 built. It does mention That it was deployed in South Africa though. Certainly the one on

Ebay didn't look dive ready. 

Maybe a ready made underwater habitat! I am sure you could talk the price down.

Good find, Alan.

Why does Silvercrest state that Taurus is "immediately available for worldwide underwater operations" if this boat is in the middle of an interrupted overhaul?  If Hank's used sub valuation guideline applies then this one is worth $120,000 in dive ready condition.  However, it's a very larger "personal sub" so perhaps the guideline does not apply.  Overhauling the systems and ABS recertification would likely cost than that amount again.  Serious money required.  Pretty cool, though.

There are some specs on this Silvercrest site.

Would hate to think what you may be in for, getting it up

to scratch. 8 view ports to replace?

Hello All,

Yesterday I came across the Taurus Submarine on eBay , she is 22 tons with diver lock out.   It is in South Africa, that is not bad if your in Europe, Carsten?
