Very rare T4 with a Fox .40 as a power head. Doubt this motor has ever been fired up.

Out of all of these, hope to get the Seebold tunnel running at some point. The others are collector items and will kept as such.


Nice thread!

If I was going to try to run one of these amps outboards today I would use one with a K&B powerhead because they just have standard K&B outboard powerheads with a AMPS hex drive PTO.
The last one of mine I was running was a Bud Light Seebold tunnel that had a .67 K&B powerhead.

Sure, the o.s. powerheads run smoother but when you break parts you have these problem of trying to figure out what the heck parts are in there and then finding them .

If you run an amps be sure you don't break a gear in the lower unit, you will really have problems finding that.

These are great old ouboard motors with a scale look that just can't be beat in appearance but they are a little bit heavy. Really , today, they are best just to keep on the shelf and look at.

These motors will break gears quite easily if you strike something with the prop and there are no spares to be had, it is not real easy to replace them either. The only way it would be practical to run these again is if someone started making replacement gears .

the prinzess and the baja apear to be scale versions of the GLASTRON GT 150 nobody is building a sport outboard boat . all of the posabilities are for raceing boats. i like electric boats but i dont race. look at all of the interest in all the old glastron boats. on the web. here is the robbe motor and a fiew other their all electric except for the big dummy and the AMPS motor.

Does anyone have the build sheet / or knowledge for the AMPS Seebold hull? (the enclosed canopy type) I've had this hull since the 80's and would like to get her in the water. However, It appears that the back under side of the transom would have to be ground or cut back in order for the motor to be mounted. Is this right? HELP!
