This is either the first enhancement of Phase 2. . . or the final step of Phase 1. . . Regardless, the air/propulsion canisters of the DPU-mounted spearguns have been replaced with 14ga steel tubing--and in spite of the undersized "scooter", it is now looking like what it is supposed to re- present! The stock canisters were dramatically underscaled (no surprise there), but the design and casting resulted in unacceptable irregularities.

With the work on the stern half of the scooter effectively done, it was time to reassess the overall lines of the DPU--and it was found lacking. A major reason for this is the dramatically undersized head lamp. I am now in the process of reworking the bow cone of the DPU, including the upgrade of the head lamp. I have also removed the "soft-cast" explosive speartips on either side of the lamp: they will not be replaced.
