time then said nah this will be a lot of work. A week later I relented only to find that hull gone, sold. I waited for another but it was never to be and I've never seen another. This was at a time when I had a functional 32nd parallel's type 7c as well as their Gato class hull; one of the few that had been purchased ( or obtained ) right from the factory uncut( it was 9 feet 6 inches as I recall).
Ahhh my sub days just a memory now..
