Hi Joe,

Does the $15k include all tools necessary for construction, or for actual
submersible hull and fittings?

A correction to my earlier post regarding cost, the quote from the article
was as follows.


"Building the small subs takes very little money, Smyth said. He paid less
than $10,000 for Snoopy, though he said the subs are typically built, not
bought.

?The cost of materials is about $15,000,? he said, noting that the larger
subs can cost millions. ?It?s mostly all labor.?

So, $15K / 2250 lbs = $6.66 / lb

That seems right on target, a K250 @ $15k, and a K350 @ approx $23 - $25 K
built in your garage.

Anyone else with any input here regarding "real" costs?

Joe
