SV Seeker

[LiquidSun]

Ordinary suckers spend 5K on Cabo scuba dive vacations w/ their wives... Not Dugg. Dugg invested ~40K + ~5years labor on 2 "wet" submarines to explore Oklahoma lake bottoms.

All that learning is going to vest any day now.

Inventory of Dugh's nautical theme builds:
1. Wood submarine - explosion
2. Aluminum submarine - incomplete and offered for sale $10K
3. Love Me Tender - unstable, heavy, replaced with $14K Whaley and 50hp Yamaha
4. SV$eeker - overweight, unstable, unable to successfully sail or motor, sitting on anchor 14 months after launch with mission unfulfilled.

There is a repeating pattern here.

Mission fail is strong with Doug.

I'm pretty sure he was several years into the build of Sinker before he even began the "Love Me Tender" which means he was even more ignorant when he laid down Sinker's hull.

It would seem Dugg's immune system is not able to deal with and heal ignorance.

Here you go Doug, get it before it’s gone:

antique farm tool belt driven pto power station - farm & garden - by...

antique farm tool pto station sheep sheering station or other, 200.00 or best offer,

That assumes he's getting less ignorant with experience. What is your evidence for this assertion?

Doug builds “boats” with questionable balance, poor buoyancy and underpowered/unreliable drivetrains. It’s sort of his MO at this point.

 

[sculpin]

add poor stability to that list...

Onlooker asks: "So, what did your boat cost you to build?" Doug: "About one Kay."

you're really quite sure you haven't missed one in that list ? I mean just where was doug 30 odd years ago.......

Dugh would never be wise enough to build on water's edge to facilitate launch, and the workmanship in the rebar forming is too neat for action jackson. Anyhow, MartyT videos are some of my favorites. He acquires all sorts of old machines, quickly and efficiently diagnoses their issues, gets them running and uses them. His video offerings have staying power and he is a good man. In contrast with Dugh - after I watched his videos for a while I realized his nature, found him repulsive, and quit watching. Peter Mackey told a journalist the sub was the biggest mistake of his life. Dugh will never do the same. MartyT is in one beautiful area.

Dugh is scratching his head pertaining to his latest wiring failure where he has things bass ackwards. The man gives new meaning to being able to fuck up a wet dream.

15 secs with a multimeter will tell ya what's wrong Doogie .
Brilliant design btw. Enclosed in a box w/no airflow, when one ssr craps out the remaining will take the full current burning them up faster. Full cascading failure.

You think you're so smart? Doug already thought of that and mounted them on a heatsink to keep them cool. Checkmate.

You think you're so smart but if it ever gets too hot Doug will just pump some foamy motor oil through it.
