Hi Everyone

Unfortunately I have some sad news for everyone .

My father, Millar Agnew, sadly passed away last week. He was 87 years old and had been suffering from Dementia quite seriously for some time.

It had got quite bad and most pof the time he did not recognise anyone. He did however live to see two great grandchildren born.

I mention this because it meant that he did not suffer towards the end and I think his passing was quite peaceful for him and was painless.

I have been monitoring all your posts for some time now and quite often used to take photos off the site in to show him and told him about the things you were all doing with the products that bore our name and were such a big part of his life.

On the few occasions that he was lucid and on good form he was really interested in what you were all doing and for that I thank you all for the pleaseure you gave him.

Thank you all again for the enthusiasm and interesting posts that you filed

Kindest Regards


Bob Agnew[]

Yah, I was watching that one too.I did bid, but went for more $$ than I thought.

Hi Bob,
I'm so sorryto hearabout your Dad.

I never got to meet or talk to your Dad but do ever so much love collecting his Amps outboard's and hull's.

joe rocket

Sorry to here about your Dad may he rest in peace . I did bid also but I knew she was going to go high.I've never seen one of those go for less than 5 bills and they usually go for 6 and change.If you look close the base piece of plastic was broken.So it was for display ownly.

specialk1

yea i did see that .. i got one of the reproduction cowlings from the same guy you did . not bad work . check this AMPS formula 402 out . this one was still in the box from international hobbies this is the gas version , im still hung up to keep it in a un used state or run it [&:]

specialk1,You have me confused on the Formula 402 and 409 as they look alike as in an earlier post on page 24.I took that my boat was a Formula 409 which is 54" long.Are there differences in a 402 and a 409 ? As for saving the hull.When your gone ,someone will probably sell the boat or run it themselves.If you have the drives for it ,put a gas engine in it and have some fun.

I echo Ken's sentiment on AMPS, fathers and sons to a "T," and wish you and your family the best during this very tough time. I have a Grandmother with Demetia and that disease is torturous. Condolences to you and the rest of your family.

My father picked up an old AMPS Brochure from the Chicago Boat Show I drooled over it unitl it literally fell apart. It sucked us both into RC Boats many years ago and I have been hooked since. He leaves a legacy that stretches all over the world.

Bob,
What a loss to all of us! So many years have passed...so many phone calls with Millar who had so much to give to boating...I hung on every word, because he was truly the Guru of outboards...I have his original specifications for tunnel hulls that I followed to the letter...all my hulls were in great part "Millar" hulls...I ran power trim for many years here in California doing the boring oval...turn right and go fast...never mind actually driving the boat!...I still have 2 AMPS hulls..some parts...and what I cherish most is a complete Evinrude AMPS mounted on a Burgess I designed carrying the ARCADIAN logo- the full sized hull that was raced here in the US met its demise at Havasu....I specifically want to also mention your visit here to the Bay Area some 20+ years ago with your wife...that was exciting and piqued my interest to a new level..I will never catch up with Millar...but I'm 80+ and don't get out as much anymore...I'm waiting for the ultimate AMPS gas OB...that I know will look just like a scale OB should...That's the Millar legacy...I know Millar is talking it up...up there and converting the heavenly host to his outboard heaven!
Thanks, Millar, for your inestimable gifts to us all. Jay Selby
