Roger Rabbit. Built by an unknown builder. |
This K-350 seems to be under renovation. More information at the psubs site. You can see the difference in the shape of the soft tanks in comparison to Dan’s above. |
John Farrington. Unfinished build.
|
Johns website is very detailed of his K-350 build. However, it hasn’t been updated for a while and he seems to have disappeared, so i'm not sure of the current status. |

Dean Ackman. Under Construction. |
Dean is progressing with his K-350. Again, he's making some changes to the original design. Note the 3 front viewports. He tells me he's adding many other features including Fly by Wire, Outside Shell, Hydraulic Controls, 12HP motor amongst others. |
Pictures on FRAPPER Here |
Here you can see details of people who are building/operating the same K-350 model. I am trying to gather details of as many boats and owners as I can together on this page. So if you are K350 building, or have any information to add, I would appreciate an email! There are other models of submersible that George designed, but I am trying to keep this page just to the 350. |
Lake Diver. |
This K350 was built by John Maynard. Here it’s being launched from its own specially built boat tender. I bought my plans from John and he has updated some of the drawings to CAD. I believe John is currently working on a second boat to be called “Lake Diver 2”. |

Captain George Kittredge.
|
George Kittredge was a US Navy submarine Captain and the designer of the K350 submersible. Working under the name of “Kittredge Industries”, he built 46 of these subs in various different models. I can’t actually find much information of where these subs are nowadays, but George’s biography “I Found Israel’s Atom Bomb Factory” details the building and operating of the subs, plus is a fascinating account of his times during the war. Very interesting book. |
NEWMAS. |
This K350 was built by Kenny Sanford and partner. They started work in 1982 and finished just two years later in 1984! Used originally to investigate a wreck, the sub is now on display at the “Hatfield Marine Science Centre” in Newport, Oregon. |
Other K-350 Subs. |
Persistence. Built by Dan Hryhorcoff. |
“Persistence” built by Dan Hryhorcoff. He has made several modifications to the standard design shown on the plans, the most noticeable being the shape of the soft ballast tanks. |
Don Palmer. |
I don't know anything about this K350 that appeared on the PSUBS site. PSUBS Link HERE. (Click on “Don Palmer” at the bottom). |
Trustworthy. Scott Waters |
Another K350 project that has appeared at PSUBS. Again, I don't know anything about this sub, but it looks like Scott is making good progress. |

Graham has sent me some pictures of his K350 coming together. Very interesting main tank arrangement, its going to look like a proper submarine. |
