The Platypus prototype was designed and built by:
Boyd Wyatt on Karragarra Island in Morton Bay.

The Platypus spent everyday for a year in the salt water of
Morton Bay, the running gear was not specially coated and shows
how well the Suzuki Jimny donor vehicle is prepared for the harsh
elements in Australia.

Our prototype was developed and built to handle a 2m swell,
it is a twin tunnel designed hull and is very stable in rough water.

Due to the versatility of the Platypus’s design it can be used for
emergency, search and rescue as well as recreation or
daily transport.
