    DIY DPV - Oldie but a goodie

    At one time, through some random board adventures, i came across a great plan/instructional guide to building a DPV.

    They seemed to be well aged, perhaps 70s, exciting me even more.

    From memory they were also found on ebay.

    Anyway, i lost them and now can't re-find them!

    Any ideas?

    Are you reffering to the plans that were in the popular Mechanic magazine? Is it a trolling motor based unit? PM me if so.

    Aaaahhh, a great kickstart. Subsequently i found what you were talking about at

    Vintage POPULAR MECHANICS Magazine JULY 1974 | eBay

    Also found

    and

    http://underwaterprojects.741.com/my...%20Vehicle.pdf

    while cruising the other search results. Looks good but still not the original one i was after. Anyway, these are a great read for now.
