Submarine Boat

How does a middle age couple come to build a sub and sailboat? First we started with scuba diving, which led to an underwater ROV, which led to a 2 person ambient diesel-powered submarine, which led to a new house and boatyard for the construction of a 70 foot steel sailboat. RSV Seeker will be our next home as well as support diving, ROV, construction, salvage, and research operations on the oceans of the World.

 

On SubmarineBoat.com we share the successes and failures of our various projects. We use the site to keep us on track and we hope these pages will help with your projects. Many of our ideas come from other DIYers so if you have a better way of doing something, please send your comments and suggestions.   Write us at: Doug&Kay@submarineboat.com

Metal Working

The machine age dawned when we learned to work metal. Cast metal, turn it in a lathe, weld on it, and cut it apart with a computer controlled plasma torch.  There is nothing as diverse and rewarding as working with metal.
