AMPS 1:3,5 Outboard
They did not know what they were doing!
Unfortunately, I experienced this much too late and had no chance to prevent it.
Rare AMPS Outboard somewhere in Germany rebuilt - destroyed!
The guy who did this is very proud of his conversion ...
He is pleased that the outboard now has 400 grams less weight.
And now better fit to his model boat.

Guys, This Nordica hull Brad is selling is legit, and Brad is one heck of a seller. I was offered this hull, but just cannot swing it right now. This is a GREAT hull for collectors like us. Give him a hollar, you won't be disappointed in the transaction! Mike Luszcz

He told me that he bought a big F1 Cat and 2 outerborders. Meanwhile, he has sold the F1 Cat and an 1 outboarder.
The outboarder he kept is the one he modified.
I asked him about photos of the second outboarder
He told me that the new owner of the outboarder is not happy with the outboarder because it is to big ,so i got the chance to buy it what i did.It is really huge , have a look.

Hello. Been following this thread and Think these outdrives/outboards are Amazing. I`m living in Sweden and I don`t Think there are many of these over here. You have to forgive if my English is bad, i will try my best. Thougt they were Amazing enough to build a outdrive myself. I know it`s not a AMPS but still interesting for you guyes i hope It`s made out of aluminum which i am casting myself. Shafts is Stainless steel. It`s my own design but there are some simularities with the AMPS outdrive. I made them in 2 versions, single prop and duo prop. Have build 7 units so far but they are still prototypes. It`s Winter here now and I haven`t tested them yet, still developing. Here are some Pictures.
Best regards Gustaf

Thanks. I think I will start a tread of my own about the outdrive. After all it's ni AMPS. So I can upload some more pictures and info. And try to keep you updated as the work goes on.
Kind regards Gustaf

Hi guys, recently acquired this AMPS tunnel hull and outboard. The gears are stripped in the gearcase so will need to replace them
Also, dear I ask, does anyone have any outboards/boats they wish to sell? Parts and what not would be handy
Cheers all !

If anyone has any spare gears that'd be handy, let me know? I have found some micro gears online have ordered some will see if they work, are close or possible to machine to suit. Fingers crossed!

Hi folks, I have again found something and need your opinion ...
Amps Formula Grand Prix with jet drive whether that works?
This gives a very large hole in the boat's hull when the jet is removed .... should I do that?

First and foremost. Apology to those that have inquired through this forum and PM's.
I assumed I would get e-mail notifications of any PMs received. Just logged into RCU since my last post today to find a bunch of PM's and these posts.
Replying to everyone via PM shortly, Hull is available.
