Default screw the 'Lude

Yes it's here!! Amphibian (duck) boat - homebuilt. Works well on both land and water, but could use some tweaks in the water to make it run faster (deeper props). Floats and does not take on water (bilge pumps installed). Ford Pinto/Mustang engine. Hydraulics operate drive & propellers. Drives 10-15 MPH on land, 4-5 knots in water.

Needs a good home with a good mechanic (not much of one myself).
Great curb appeal and with a few tweaks would operate really well in water.
Hate to sell, but location is not working out.
Parts alone in this are worth double the asking price.






and look at those fancy cup holder!!

You need to immediately replace those ugly wheels with some bling bling 20's.

Probably more like 5-7 miles an hour after Steve installs his stereo equipment....it would probably still do 4-5 knots on the lake bottom.
