About the Republic RC-3 SEABEE

The Republic RC-3 Seabee is one of the most characterful classic amphibians ever built — a rugged post-war all-metal four-seater with a rear-mounted pusher engine and a true boat hull. Beloved for its go-anywhere water-and-land versatility and unmistakable looks, the Seabee is often re-engined for more power than its modest original Franklin. It rewards an owner who values classic amphibian character and will care for a boat-hull airframe.
