New Toy For Family Fun
 ✖  |
If your family's already into boating, you'll be interested in the new oneman submarine. This new "toy" for kids of all ages lets you explore water like you never thought possible - and for a lot less money than you probably would expect to pay for a submarine.
Price tag on the new Thomas Taylor submarine is $2,995. It dives to 300 ft., running at speeds up to 5 mph on a 24-volt electric motor powered by two 12-volt batteries. Range between chargings for the 125-lb., 7-ft., 8-in. sub is about 20 miles. It can turn 360? in its own length and move in reverse. You can dive, surface or hover at one level just by manipulating the water ballast.
"The operator's head remains in air, while he sits in water taken in for ballast. Two air tanks keep the operator supplied with oxygen to breathe. If you decide to climb out and explore with scuba equipment, you just fill up with water, open the hatch and get out. You can carry several hundred pounds of equipment with you (or pick that much up)," explains Taylor. Dealers have been established for the new machine, which features all easily removable and serviced parts. Dealers supply an 8-hour training course for new buyers.
