A plans only design, not in production.
Reports that the boat hull of the Aqua II was used in the homebuilt Collins W-7 Dipper, flown August 28, 1982 as N25WC, are incorrect. The Collins Dipper project was converted from a damaged Cessna 150 and had a new boat hull fitted below the fuselage. The boat hull was designed by the Aqua designer Meredith Wardle and was about 92% in size of the Aqua II boat hull.
