Extra 80M USD anyone?
Nope and in any case the thing is underpowered. 10 kt submerged. Hey even a Typ XXI could do 17 kt in the 40s. I would gladly pack the diver lock-out chamber with additional batteries and fit it with a more powerful motor. BTW they forgot to fit the torpedo tubes. However a maximum depth of 300m as well as a docked mini-sub capable to go to about 600m(!) is a nice touch and the price sounds reasonable considering what a 65m yacht (like mine) costs
