Aqua-Cheetah (prototype 1941 1942)
Build by the Amphibian Car Corp Buffalo N.Y.
It was a 1/2 ton, amphibious 4X4 Truck designed by Roger W. Hofheins.
The vehicle had independent suspension with coil springs.
I believe there where three different prototypes build.
The first prototype (1941) had the wheels driven by chains
and the engine was placed in the middle.
The second prototype had axles from the 4x4 1/2 ton
Dodge WC
and the 85 hp Ford V8 was in the rear.
But still with chain driven wheels.
The Third prototype had 3/4 ton Dodge parts.
The middle photo comes from the Bilge master

Aquajeep (2004)
Somebody in Spain had a website and was selling
this Amphib for very little Euro's.
First problem was that it was the Searoader.
Even the pictures on this website ware stolen from the SeaRoader site.
Second problem was that he forgot to pay for the
URL and the work to make this website.
Within 48 hours he was shot down and out of
business.
A year later the RAT was back. (at the end of 2005)

Aquastrada (1995)
Their craft differs from all previous attempts at
an amphibious vehicle for consumers.
"Every person that's attempted this in the past has started with a car
or a truck and tried to make it into a boat. Well, we said, you know,
that's the flaw. So we started with the idea of starting with a boat
first." Road speeds of more than 140 mph and better than 60 mph on
water.
But the prototype did not go that fast.
And they where never heard of again.

Aquaterra (2006) CANADA
It is MUCH different from a Dutton.
It is not build by TIM DUTTON !
It is build in Canada as a turn key vehicle.
Or you can buy it as a kit for a Suzuki Samurai.
For you guys and girls in the USA
Look FIRST at the import laws and then ask US customs!
I think the people at Aquaterra can help you work
out a way to import.

ARKTOS Craft (1993)
It is build with a permanently linked pair of
fibreglass reinforced plastic (FRP) hulls. Each hull is independently
powered by a diesel engine linked through hydraulic motors to the track
system. On land driven by the tracks, in the water propulsion jets
supply the thrust.
A hydraulically powered articulation arm links the
two hulls. Control is achieved through a joystick allowing each unit to
operate at independent angles with three axis of motion. This gives the
craft exceptional mobility
This unique system is patented in Canada and the
United States of America.
The hull components are manufactured from an
e-glass/Kevlar-hybrid lay-up and withstand crushing forces from vast
ice floe formations.
