My PST E8-130 finally arrived. I've posted some pics and will be posting some real-world info for those of you considering making the jump.

* PST HP100: Filled to only 3000 with 32 EAN: 40.5 pounds

* PST E8-130: Filled to 3450 with Air: 56.5 pounds :wacko:

I'll be doing a thorough dive test this weekend (shore, boat, deeper, guppy, night, lobster, etc.) and throw up some thoughts on weighting, trim and handling in the water. I need to get that $#@%^ shine off this thing, and quick.

I'm 5-8, 175-ish. Diving an SS BP/W rig with 10# lead with my beloved HP100. We'll see how this silo trims out.

To those of you diving and schlepping these configed as doubles (especially you, CD), I fall to the floor and offer a hearty "I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy..." What a hog (double hog...) There will be no front flip entries from the flying bridge with this thing on, I'm sure.

More soon!!

Looks like you might drop some of that 10LB weight ( relocate ).
I`m 5`8", 175LB, diving AL B/P & W, with 10LB , with 95CF LP,
in Drysuit. Does the 130 have an 8" diameter?

That loks like an old Air Stream trailer on end, how many people does it sleep?
