Doug-may i ask- at what point did the synapses in your brain fire off and give u the epiphany of knowing this is what you wanted and that you were about to embark on a long journey to build a once in a lifetime project like this?..I find it fascinating since i have talked to few builders who have ever really mentioned what inspired them in the first place...keep the vids coming...im enthralled! us gearheads are cut from the same cloth...
@porpoisefathom We both grew up in Brownsville Texas, near the Gulf of Mexico. I wanted to be a Marine Biologist but Computer Science paid better. Started building our 1st submarine with the intention of moving to FL with it, but we were visited by some guy who's name I can't remember who wanted to look at welding for a sailboat he wanted to launch from the Port of Tulsa. That idea grew on us and we built the house, shop and started collecting tools and materials in 2006....
@submarineboat ...took one more delay to build Argonaut Jr. (not everyday you have 5 tons of lead laying around). Now we've sold the subs and are full time on the sailboat. I'll never be a Marine Biologist, but it will be fun to give some of them rides.
@261Honda yea we here in ontario are oppressed financially by eff'n taxes!!! I say we form a coup!! oops i suppose thats my subversive side coming out- anyway- you probably already know my next question Doug--how much!?

@joelalay1 I don't know. I'd guess that the drive motor might pull about 4 to 5 amps.

We use the digital version at the shipyard. I love it! Smooth, easy to use, and less maintenance problems.

@theman4130 Me too. Been dragging it around all week, even for little stuff that I would normally switch to stick to do. :)

@eatmycakeshow Thanks -- I hate bashing my Cobramatic, but this Miller X-treme sure beats it hands down for what we are doing.

Looks like a sweet package to me, like the quick connects, to boggie out, if weather or some other reason you need to move quick...
