Aero Linx: Lake Amphibian Club Over the years the cost of a new Skimmer or Lake went from about $16,000 to over $500,000 for many reasons. Sales of Renegades have been very sparse in the last few years, the last one built under contract, in 2006. Armand sold the company in 2003, only to regain it a year or two later, minus a rather large asset — the factory and hangar at Sanford. Many parts are still being supplied. To date there have been about 137 Renegades produced, with a total of approximately 1050 Skimmers and Lakes built since 1956.
