We'll I've gone and done it now.............! My little project has now arrived and I'm sure its the only OEM amphib' in the country. Lets hope that's a boom on the front and not a periscope!

Looks a fair tool that!
What country are HEKING from?

Learning to swim eh Clive? Heking? should that not be 'SeaKing' Nice one mate

Joe I'd imagine that Heking is most likely from China so I guess that puts a whole new slant on things.

Me and my weird sense of humour

Correct Jeremy its from China! Made me cringe to when the idea came up. I did loads of research which involved about 4 months of emails etc, phone calls to Canada and brainstorming with the lads. To be honest everytime I came up with a reason not to buy it and posed it to the manufacturer they came up with a good reason why they did something that way. The Canadians had 5 of them and each time they proposed an improvement the Chinese took it on board. For example the machine tracks and turns really well because they put a slight curve on the underside of the pontoons which the other companies had n't done (they may have now). As for the rest the proof will be on the maiden voyage............

The build quality looks good to. There are a few little things and they are cosmetic, but nothing to right home about. Overall I'm very pleased.

I'll keep you posted.................

Oh, and I liked the fact it was zero tail swing!

H&S will insist you have life buoys hanging on it and a snorkel n flippers, looks nice though Clive would be interested to see it working, i will try and post a couple of pics of the CAT on Pontoons that i spotted a few years back

Thanks David, I hope it goes OK, too much H&S and I'm outa there!

PS Should be loads of work around you.......the tide has only just gone out!

Lol, i am just getting the Mrs to scan those Cat pics so i will post them once the old computer has got enough steam pressure going
