Pretty cool hey?

No thanks.

That would be cool to have.

Unfortunately, when put in use at any lake near me, the likelihood of trying to surface and having a 200+ H.P. BASS BOAT with S.S. prop. cut it in half would be a high probability.:) Periscope UP!

Just be mindful of Murphy's Law.

After your hovercraft experiences, maybe not such a good idea?;)

And don't try running it in the East River in Manhatten.

I was thinking you had found one of these:

From the above specs: constructed of 200 lb test Fiberboard!

We have a problem Captain!

Wasn't there a guy on one of the "Monster Garage" episodes that had built one and actually sailed it from Atlantic to Pacific oceans through the Panama canal and everything?

I got it to work though, making about 10 new improvments as I write this.

Another sub, but you get wet.

Doug's submarine is made out of aluminum...........just needs a hovercraft skirt and air screw propeller and we could have a FLYING SUB.:D

Is that toy sub real? I want it I want it I want it!

I wonder if I would end up on a homeland security list with this?

not the only way, but certainly a good way to find Davey Jones Locker

I believe there is a good reason why subs are basically round in shape; instead of flat panel construction like this one.

Now paint it in camo, add a retractable top and it might make a decent duck blind.

You must be an old sailor that is wishing for a burial at sea....

Can I have your car when you don't come back.....:eek:

Ahh, it won't be that bad, just remember when you get the emergency
hatch open to exhale on your way back up.......:D

The shape has to do with resistance to crush at pressure. That box would concern me if we were talking about actually going deeper than 20-30 feet. Remember, on emergency escape, don't go up faster than your bubbles or your lungs might explode.

Did you see the Columbian sub busted off the pacific coast?
