2-man Homebuilt Submarine

that is awesome. Very nice work.

Seeing that it was made pre-digital age, I'd probably pay only $250 for it...but for you, I'll pay $500. Once it is built I will paypal you the amount and send you a shipping address!

What a beautiful job you did - very professional - you are obviously very talanted - really impressive.

As a kid, you would see these on the cover of Popular Mechanics sometimes - I always thought it was really cool.

You have to post back - how long did it take you - was it made from a kit - what did it cost in materials - how many hours to build - how it "worked" underwater - and any other info

Lots of people probably wanted to build one; I would bet few actually did - thanks in advance

Does anyone have a sense of the fair market value of this submarine?

About a $1 million for a properly constructed narco-submarine with a payload of 150 tons of cocaine:

The narco submarines can cost up to $1 million USD and take nearly a year to build.

For those interested, the Undersea Hunter group in Cocos has a submarine available for dives to 400 meters:

I tried to book a dive when I was there, but National Geographic hogged the sub for my whole stay.

I have added a summary specifications page (from the Science Center exhibit) to my photo album.

A submarine is "non-diving related"? I think I'm on the wrong website....
