RE: Building

Kyle,

The answer is yes it can be done. Beyond that, your question is much too general. People can make recommendations based on:

RE: TIME TO BUILD ENGLE GATO !

Dave,

Were you able to purchase the Gato without any Engel dive system or is that some of the extra parts you're going to sell?

RE: Why are Sub Radios so Hard to Find?

RE: Need expert advice on thin antena vs reception performance

RE: Water Tight container

Not too sure about the upside down box trick. As the sub goes deeper the air would compress allowing water to rise inside the box.

If you want a true water proof box - down to 100 feet - try the...
