You get a gold star.

Thank you for making diy a better place!

Factory leakdown is up to 50% in 24 hours.

To be honest though, they're quite easy to maintain.

PVC inflatables tend to last 10-12 years for welded construction boats, 5-8 years for glued construction boats.

Hypalon inflatables can easily last more than 20 years.

I own a 1993 Avon 315. I would like an Avon 5.4m Searider. Sadly, these old commercial boats are a tough find and pricey.

You can't sink'em though, and they do much better in rough water.

You seem to be lacking your inflatable boat...

I sell Zodiac, Mercury, Avon (used to anyways), AB...all kinds of inflatable boats!

I'm also here to answer any questions you may have about them.

Buy a bit driver and a shitload of bits.

Yes and no.

You could browse all computers associated with that network, which is an intranet.

Icom ID-1 is about $800, plus you need a local repeater site that has all of the Icom 1.2 ghz hardware & is hooked up to an ISP.

...everything has a duty cycle?

Do you think that was a good idea?

>Ham radio was never designed to be useful.
Sure is anti in here today.

There's plenty of people in faraway parts of the globe that use amateur radio as their only source of communication.

I've talked to many a random person in Alaska, Antarctica, Africa, and Siberia.

>TNC on 144 mhz is slow
Well no shit. You need more bandwidth.

1.2 ghz = 100 kb/s no problem.

You're best off with HSMM-MESH stations all over the place.

Icom's 1.2 ghz system is okay too.

Illegal unless you have a valid amateur radio operator license.

Do you have an adapter to convert it to mobile use? If you do, then you can simply run it off a car battery (or two if it set up for 24vdc).

Good looking manpack though. I've been wanting a PRC-320 manpack myself.

Wear some padded gloves. They are reallllyy bad for your joints.

No TSP?

Redundant buoyancy. You cannot swamp an inflatable, and some are even made to be self-righting.

The CZ7 has 12 air chambers I believe? If you buy the actually Milpro boat, the Hurricane 733 / 1100, the tubes are filled with foam, thus, any puncture doesn't matter...the air in the tube is for cosmetics.

With an inflatable boat, a NOAA small craft advisory is a challenge.

I work at a boat store / SCUBA shop. We sell inflatable boats such as Zodiac, Artigiana Batteli, Mercury, Avon, Achilles, etc.

Pic related, my dream boat.

Neat project.

But why?

You have no reasonable expectation of privacy in public.

Do what I was planning to do with my first house.

Make your door frame out of square tube mild steel.

H2 and O2 are two of many diatomic molecules. You cannot have "H" or "O". When it splits, it will bond with another one of itself, forming H2 or O2.

With more insight into this, as well as why using a gas engine to create electricity to split water is inefficient, look in to combustion reactions.

It takes more energy to split water into h2 and o2 than it does to simply just take the energy and propel the car.

Yes, you just need multiple transmitters.

They're engineered with an "acceptable level" of CO2 retention.

The AGA Divator MK II weighs in at 1.4 millibars, the OTS Guardian weighs in at 0.7 millibars.

Free flow diving helmets are completely variable in how much CO2 they retain.

But yeah. Your moon pool continuously bubbling excess air out? That would be annoying.

The problem under pressure is not lack of oxygen, it is excess CO2 that is the problem.
