Welcome to the

Frank Querzoli - Sharkhunter

Sub name:	Sharkhunter
Designer: 
Owner:		Frank Querzoli
Builder: 	Perry Cubmarine
Description:

2 man, wet submarine

I don't have all of the history of the sub, but 
I'll type up and small introduction to send with the photo's.  I was suprised 
to find that photo labled Sharkhunter, I thought that some one had beaten me to 
it.  The model that I have must be one of the early prototypes, I did find a 
copy of that original article listed in your archives (Popular Mechanics) and 
thats the one I have.  The one in your photo is Sharkhunter 2 and it's the 
precurser to the Reef Ranger wetsub that spun off from Perry Submersibles a 
sale ( I think the Tritech deal).  I have been in contact with someone at that 
company and they think that they might even have some old plans and spare 
parts.
