Swimming with the Nautilus

[tyourk]

The 7 foot sub was made several years ago but I can still provide a rough estimate based on today's prices. The sub could be divided into several categories, fiberglass, electronics (including the transmitter) bilge pumps, and miscellaneous. Fiberglass would be two to three hundred, electronics about 500, bilge pumps four to 500, so roughly about 1500 for materials. However labor was by far the most significant portion which I could not begin to estimate.

Brilliant!

What were your total expenditures, please?

"Giant Squid astern sir!" Hahaha...JK. But this is seriously one of the coolest RC subs I've ever seen. 5*

Ah, your welcome. I have just always loved 20,000 Leagues under the sea, and I think its awesome that people like it as much as I do.

[tyourk]

Its scratch built, made of fiberglass and powered by two Jet Ski batteries and several bilge pumps.

Is your Nautilus home built or a commercially available kit? It's really nice!

[tyourk]

Thanks,it is scratch built. There are several commercially available, one is RC others are display models but can be converted, all expensive though.
