Amphibs sorted by year of production can be found on René Pohl Site www.schwimmauto.de
	SA-8 (1975) The SA-8 was developed in the late sixties. An amphibious 6x6 surface-to-air missile launcher with its own radar systems for surveillance, tracking and missile guidance, it served as an replacement for towed anti-aircraft guns.  The crew of five are housed (obviously) at the front, while the engine is at the rear.  When it goes swimming, propulsion is via two water jets at the rear of the hull. Steering (on solid ground) operates on the front and rear of the three axles.

	Schäfer Orion 1 (1968) An amphibious camper (motorhome). Desigend by Ing. Dr. Freise. On a modified  chassis of the VW Van type 26, he placed the modified body of a Suleica G500, with the new front of the Tempo–Matador but with round head-lights en a boat like bottom. A propellor was driven on the rear like the 166 schwimmwagen. As far as know the water-tight Orion 1 sailed only for promotional purposes and was then forgoten. ( But not by me. ;-)   The prototype stil exists but it is not water tight anymore  (the door is lowerd and ventilatin holes for a fridge are placed ) and the water propulsion is removed.
	Schäfer / Suleica Amphibious Caravan (1967) The 2 amphibious models the 500S and the 430S can be moved either by a 25 HP strong outboard motor or pulled by an amphibious car. Already in 1961 Suleica was selling amphibious caravans. The stuff dreams are made of Out of this world Out of reach. In 1967 this was the TOP in quality and in price. The standard production was not amphibious some extra work was needed. F 430 amphibious has extra: A fat-sealed axle and a foamed filed double bottom. The door has a 30 cm  higher board. Weight 560 kg  price (1967) 10.350 DM about 5175 Euro A total of  800 (500 and 430 model together) where manufactured. not al are amphibious caravans! Owners of a Suleica  Caravan can be found at www.suleica-orion-club.de/ On www.suleica-caravans.de there is a specal page about the amphibious caravans.
	Schneider-Laurent-amphibious tank (1930) This is a French construction and it had three different purposes: 1: it had tracks 2: it had wheels 3: it had two props for water use The change from tracks to wheel drive could be done within 3 minutes. But the crew had to leave the vehicle for that job! The tin can was powered by a V8 petrol engine with around 100 hp. Picture and info was send in by René Pohl the author of the book "Mit dem Auto baden gehen", ISBN 3893657029. Who has an amphibious site of his one.
	SchwimmKÜBELwagen 82 (1940) This is a Prototype Schwimmwagen with the bodywork from a type 82 Kübelwagen.
	SchwimmKÜBELwagen 181 This to is a Prototype Schwimmwagen but this one has the bodywork from a type 181 Kübelwagen. (The THING) It is the only amphibious 181 in the world. Info send in by Frank Suha.
	Schwimmwagen Type 128 (1940) This is THE Prototype Schwimmwagen Professor Porsche developed the Schwimmwagen based on the standard VW Kubelwagen and work done by Hannes Trippel on the SG7. Production started in 1940 with thirty vehicles being produced at the Wolfsburg Volkswagen works. Engine: 1,131 cc 25 hp at 3,000 r/m four-cylinder, air cooled. Gearbox: four-speed manual. 4x4 only in 1e gear granny low On normal road, only the rear wheels are driven. Self-locking differentials were fitted to both axles. Portal gear rear hubs for better ground clearance Wheelbase 240 cm Curb weight is 900 kg. ?? The three-blade propeller, stored in an upright position, that can be swung down when needed. Power take off came from the crankshaft and was send by an external chain box to the propeller. When fully loaded, the Type 128 has a water speed of 10 km/h. Porsche company offered 3 different cars: 1- The type 128 2- A lighter version the type 138     in pre series 125 where build. 3- The type 166 - A short and narrow version At the end of 1941, an order was placed. This was to be the Type 166.
	Schwimmwagen  Type 129 Guided bom with rocket propulsion Controlled by wire remote! An experimental vehicle with 2 rockets on the back. The remote diver had no feeling over the car getting out of the water so then the rockets where used to help getting out of the water at an embankment. On the photo only 2 air bottles are visible. the rocket it self is not there. (middle rear)
	Schwimmwagen Type 138 (1942) Vorserienschwimmwagen that means pre series swimmers. A total of 125 were made. The difference with the Type 128 is a little loss of weight. But the welded body tubs, where to weak for tough off-roading.
	Schwimmwagen 166 (1942) The resulting vehicle was the Type 166 Schwimmwagen. SW 166 is 40 cm shorter and 10 cm smaller than the earlier type 128. The tow hooks are stronger. The same power plant of 1,130 cm3 used in the Kubelwagen was used in the Schwimmwagen. 15,584 were produced 14,276 at Fallersleben 1,308 by Porsche Wheel-base of 200 cm The transmission worked normally in two-wheel drive rear until a fifth granny low gear was selected, But some selected four-wheel drive with a small lever behind the gear lever. Thirth option was a lever in front of the gear shift lever. Self-locking differentials were fitted to both axles. Portal gear REAR hubs for better ground clearance. After the WWII Germany was forbidden to build amphibious cars. Hannes Trippel was send to jail for building a private amphibious car. He was also forbidden to develop them until 1959 after his release. If not the Amphicar story had been different.
	Fiberglass Schwimmwagen Kitcar (2008) Some say this is the end of the world. for others this is the other end (the fun side) I see it as a model in 1:1 scale. ;-) The question is can it be road legal? www.panzerwerks.net/schwimmwagon/schwimmer.htm
	Scrambler You can find more about this machine in the museum of ROUTE6x6. Picture used with permission from ROUTE6x6.
	SeaHorse (2008) It looks like a Dukw but the  hull, deck and canopy are constructed from glass reinforced plastic (GRP) It comes as a turn key COACH or as a KITCAR. :-) But it is NOT a 200 hour project :-) The traditional calliper and wheel drum mechanisms have been replaced by hydraulic drive systems incorporating internal disc brakes. For road power, four or six wheel-located hydraulic motors are used. For power afloat, hydraulics replace conventional prop-shafts. A waterjet replaces the propellor and rudder.
	Sealand marine (2006) First photo was taken by Trevor, in Cornwall England, the Amphib is used as a ferry for St Michaels mount island. Seamaster tour version With a length of 10.0 m A capacity for over 46 passengers or 6,000 kg of cargo The original Seamaster is in service ferrying up to 46 passengers to & from a small island off the Cornish coast in England. The owners here required the Seamaster to be a lifeline to the main land even when their fleet of smaller passenger boats were unable to put to sea. The final specification included twin engines, two hydraulic lift stairways and a disabled person's lift that doubles as a cargo loading platform.
	Sealander MK2 (1992) Made by T & M Roycroft from New Sealand. This prototype was built 1992 and has a 1.8 Subaru 4x4 running gear and a patented wheel fold up system.  It does normal speeds on the road and will easily do 20 knots on the water.  It has a water jet. Photo's where send in by Stephen Snedden of www.myark.com
	Sealegs (2003) Sealegs makes different high performance boats. The top one is 4.7 m. the one on the bottom 5.6 m they can be driven in and out of the water under there own power. They do approx 10 km/h on land. and 60 km/h in the water. An in-board Honda petrol engine drives the two rear wheels via a hydraulic pump and hydraulic wheel motors for on-land use. By pressing a button, all three wheels are hydraulically raised or lowered, like an aircraft undercarriage. The front wheel is steerable with the steering wheel. MANY other sizes, including barge types, by custom order. www.sealegs.co.nz
No picture	Sea-Range see Colani Sea-Ranger ?????
	SeaRoader (2001) Developed by Mike Ryan then taken over by Rob Andrews. The SeaRoader concept was kept as simple as possible. one of the water propulsion systems was a 2 cylinder Beta marine diesel 'Series 10' with a F/N/R gearbox.  The engine bay is open at the under side to get more cooling. That gives an oil spill risk. The prototype length is 4.37 mtr, the wide 1.75 mtr and the hight 1.75 mtr. www.searoader.com
	SeaRoader (2006) Development was taken back by Mike Ryan. This Amphibious vehicle is Land Rover 110 based. It uses a second engine for water propulsion. It does NOT use the donor chassis! NOW for sale as a KIT, and as a turn key car. The SeaRoader concept was kept as simple as possible. To simple at first, it had no real hull under the car engine. SeaRoader takes the possibility of polluting very serious. A collector has been developed to avoid spillage this leaves a large opening to get the engine heat out. The engine will not overheat when used on the road. Mike has email me: We have added a secondary sump and front cover with it's own drain. This totally encloses the original sump and crank and frontal pulley above the gasket line. It has a compression seal that fits around the engine block. We have also done the same at the top of the engine, again sealing against the cylinder block below the cylinder head gasket. It is now impossible for any oil or diesel escaping from the engine or auxiliaries to make contact with the water. I am very pleased as we will not have any environmental issues or overheating problems. Mike www.searoader.com
	Sea Rover (1991) Amphibious modified Landrover. Turbocharged Bedford diesel engine. max water speed 6 knots, max road speed 95kph. (photo from Overlander 4WD November 1991)
	SeaWolf150 Amphibious modified Ford F150 Based on the 2 wheel or 4-wheel drive, super cab, extended cab or crew cab models. Designed to be a fun filled water craft that is on-road friendly. Full Coast Guard Safety features standard. Extended cargo capacity. Available option are only exceeded by the customers dreams. But limited by the customers income. ;-)
	SEEP (GPA) (1942) The Seep's intended use was to ferry soldiers to and from ships off-shore, to drive up the beach and continue inland. They were not very successful. It had been planned to build 12000 of them (Clayton '82) but only 5000 were produced (Carlin '89), all by Ford. It is reported that many of the Jeeps that were used in battle sank if there were any significant waves at all. but, a highly modified amphibious Jeep by the name `Half-Safe' crossed the Atlantic ocean in 1950 and continued later to circle the world.
	Seiga (2004) The Seiga low ground pressure vehicles are hired out for use on sensitive areas. Seiga are amphibious go anywhere vehicles with a ground pressure of less than 1.5 lb/sqin when loaded and with deck areas from 13 feet x 10 feet and a load capacity of 1-2.5 Tons depending on conditions.
	Seiga Amphibious Weed harvester Build in HUNGARY 6 wheel drive and it floats by its big wheels. vnad.atw.hu/referencia/aratas
	Sdkfz 141Pzkfw III Ausf.G als Tauchpanzer This is a German submersible Battle Tank It drives over the bottom of the water with a max depth of 15 meter Has a crew of 5 (very brave men) :) The crew and the engine get there air through a hose from the mother ship. Only a small picture,
	Sherman DD swimming tank (1945) DD stands for duplex drive. The tank is almost a normal Sherman except for the canvas screen on top of the tank to give it buoyancy and the 2 propellers at the back. When a float the top of the tank is 1 meter below the surface of the water. The crew with the exception of the driver stays on the top of the tank. The driver sits in the tank and has a very primitive breading apparatus, With just 30 cm free board only a mad man wood swim without that thing. The screen could be erected in 15 minutes and put down in seconds. The screen had metal hoops for support and by inflating 36 vertical rubber tubes with compressed air from bottles the canvas curtain got rigidity. On the rear of the tank at the tank's tracks, sprocket wheels drove sprocket wheels that gave power to the propellers. Water speed was 7 km/h The commander and the driver could steer in the water, but the commander stood on a platform on top of the turret, that way he could see over the skirt, and he then steered the tank with a large lever. The Tank museum in Dorset England has one Sherman DD that is complete with the original canvas top. But she can't swim any more. The DD tanks were one of the many specialised assault vehicles, known as Hobart's Funnies The propellers can be moved upwards and out of harms way hydraulicly. But in combat one tends to oversee the lift and switch off function.  At D day the waves where 2 mtr high. that is almost 7 times the design hight. Not a nice thing to think about. An other DD tank is the Valentine.

	The SNAIL SHELL SYSTEM It is amphibious and it is "self" propeled stays in contact with the earth more or less. ;-) there for "it takes what it needs" to have a place on this site.  Is a low cost system that enables persons to move around, change their whereabouts and live in various environments. One unit supplies space for one person. It is mobile both on land and water. One person can move it slowly, either by pushing it like a wheel, walking inside it or on top of it. In the water you need to use a peddel for propulsion. ;-)
	Snow-Boat The snowboat is an amphibious vehicle for Snow and water. It is made of a boat hull and a snowmobile The track can propel the vehicle in the water but an outboard will do a better job. Prototype Specs (note: these are the specs of a working prototype, but they can be customized) LxWxH: ~14’ x 5.5' x 4.5' weight: ~ 700 to 800 lbs.

	Stolz fahrzeugbau Amphibien-Autoporter (1960 ?) I just have to list this. ;-) Amphibien-Autoporter is the German name. It is a one (1) wheel car trailer But by law NOT a trailer, so  NO MAX TRAILER SPEED. Originally designed for a VW Beetle. In the winter you can fit sky's. In summer you can use it as a boat. ;-) This vehicle was for sale on eBay.
	Stridsvagn 103 Main Battle Tank (1967) It is fully amphibious after 25 minutes of preparation. A floatation screen needs to be erected around the upper hull. Like the Sherman DD This was the first practical turret less MTB to be developed. 290 where build. The main engine is a 290 hp (216 kW) Detroit Diesel. The secondary engine, used for boost power, was a gas turbine Boeing Model 553 with 490 hp. The combined output of the both engines was better than the normal MBT's with heavier engines that used much more fuel. The engines are located in the front to give additional protection to the crew of three, who are contained entirely within the hull. The third man was placed in the rear of the hull, facing rear, with a full-driver system set up allowing the vehicle to be piloted in reverse driving in the same way as the froward driving was done. Aiming the gun is done by adjusting the suspension system, see the Lego tanks. ;-)
