1. Because of the “professional equipment” required, Construction Drawings for “home-fabrication” of the
Mechanical Drive Group components are not provided.
2. In the following instructions, some “assembly” photos have certain components removed from a par-
ticular assembly. This was done to clarify certain “assembly steps”. The MINI-BEEP Builder should not interpret
from these photos that those parts were meant to be permanently removed from the finished assembly!
3. The MINI-BEEP is not designed to be licensed and driven on public highways.
NOTES to the MINI-BEEP® Builder
VERY SPECIAL NOTE:
An excellent pamphlet entitled: SAFETY STANDARDS FOR BACKYARD
BOAT BUILDERS is published by the The United States Coast Guard and is avail-
able at no charge on line at: COMDTPUB P16761.3B. It contains a treasure of boat-
building facts and safety considerations to be aware of when building a boat.
“Home-building” a MINI-BEEP Amphibious ORT (“boat”) does not qualify for
any Coast Guard regulations because you are not manufacturing a boat for resale.
Your only requirement is to have a Hull Identification Number affixed to your MINI-
BEEP Hull. We provide this “factory authorized” number with each MBA80 Mini-Beep
Body Plans/Assembly Manual we sell.
To quote this Coast Guard requirement:
....”AMPHIBIOUS VEHICLES ARE EXCEPTED FROM ALL REQUIREMENTS EX-
CEPT FOR THE HULL IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS.”
