When I was a kid my uncle had an Amphicat and I was always amazed by it. Ever since I have been trying to improve on the design in my head and wondering why Honda or some other major Company hasn't made one.. Anyway, I just had a major thought. Picture this: Suspension, Roll cage, Front mounted 1200 cc engine with a Jetski style propelsion system. Possibly even a way to lift the wheels up past the bottom of the craft so you could plane it on water.

You know, I have put pontoons on an Attex before, and am working on hydrofoils for another custom built 6x6 design I am working on. Too keep it lightweight I am going without suspension but with baloon tires I hope to finish this year. Remember how the Amphicats used to be demonstrated by running a man over? Just watch the Banana Splits to see how light and maneuverable they are. The jet pump works well, like the old Hustlers and Wedges.

I don't remember the demo but I do remember my uncle and/or dad/brother chasing after it so it wouldn't run someone over when it would take off unexpectedly when the battery was dead and they would have to manually start it with the pull starter!!!
