Amanda Water Scooter Ebay sale

Perhaps Arnolt was the U.S. Dealer for the Amanda Water Scooter ? Sorta like I.C.S. ?? That is a pretty nice example sitting there, I'll keep an eye on it. We have two lakes surrounding us here in Penticton, B.C. And I might be able to outrun Ogopogo 
It's a good job I'm out of room, money and on the wrong continent
That suggests to me that lack of air flow within the hull was the issue
Nope,
The problems arose due to the deeds of the manufacturer of the hull who was in financial trouble, as was Vincent at the time.
To save some money they made the hulls thinner than specification.
The first machines to land in the States failed and Vincent lost a massive order , at the time the American order was thought to have been big enough to save the whole company.
The rest is history.
Ones that still work have reinforced hulls.
Fibreglass was pretty new back in those days but cutting corners wasn't.

Yes, I am aware that the grp hulls were made thinner than design specification. But I maintain my point that the hull getting excessively hot indicates that there was an issue of insufficient cooling air flow, and that this contributed as a component of the problem with the Amanda. If either of these points had been correct (ie correct hull thickness, or greater cooling air flow), the hull fragility would not have ruined the Amanda, and thus Vincent.
