     This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D amends the statement on Schedule 13D
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by First Magnum Corporation on
October 7, 1996.  Items 1 through 7 of that Schedule 13D are hereby amended to
read in full as follows:

Item 1 - SECURITY AND ISSUER.

     This statement relates to the Class A common stock and Class B common
stock, par value $.10 per share, of Seal Fleet, Inc. (the "Issuer").  The
principal executive offices of the issuer are located at 125 Worth Avenue, Suite
314, Palm Beach, Florida 33480.

Item 2 - IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

     This Schedule 13D is filed jointly by First Magnum Corporation (a
corporation incorporated in the State of Florida), 125 Worth Avenue, Suite 318,
Palm Beach, Florida 33480, and Thomas M. Ferguson (an individual and a United
States citizen), 125 Worth Avenue, Suite 318, Palm Beach, Florida 33480.  First
Magnum Corporation is wholly owned by Thomas M. Ferguson.

     The principal business of First Magnum Corporation is to act as a holding
company.  The principal occupation of Thomas M. Ferguson is to serve as Chairman
of the Board and President of Seal Fleet, Inc., 125 Worth Avenue, Suite 314,
Palm Beach, Florida 33480.

     During the last five years, neither First Magnum Corporation nor Thomas M.
Ferguson has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic
violations or similar misdemeanors).  During the last five years, neither of
such persons has been a party to a civil proceeding resulting in a judgment,
decree or final order against such person relating to any violation of federal
or state securities laws.

Item 3 - SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

     All shares of Seal Fleet, Inc. Class A common stock and Class B common
stock owned by First Magnum Corporation were purchased with funds of First
Magnum Corporation.  50,000 shares of Class B common stock were purchased from
Hvide Marine Incorporated for a nominal cost.  37,600 shares of Class A common
stock were purchased from Hvide Marine Incorporated for a nominal cost.  277,778
shares of Class A common stock were purchased from Seal Fleet, Inc. at the
prevailing market prices as published on the National Daily Quotation Service
"Pink Sheets") during the 60-day period from February 1 through March 29, 1996.
The total amount paid for the 277,778 shares of Class A common stock was
$100,000.  Seal Fleet, Inc. had previously held the 277,778 shares as treasury
stock.

     The 240,000 shares of Seal Fleet Class A common stock owned by Thomas M.
Ferguson were purchased pursuant to the exercise of a stock option previously
granted to Mr. Ferguson under the Issuer's 1996 Long Term Incentive Plan.  The
funds used to purchase the shares were borrowed by Mr. Ferguson from the Issuer
pursuant to the terms of a Secured Promissory Note and a Stock Pledge Agreement,
copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 1 and 2, respectively.

Item 4 - PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

     The purpose of the purchases by First Magnum Corporation and Mr. Ferguson
was to acquire shares for investment.  Either First Magnum Corporation or Mr.
Ferguson or both 
<PAGE>
 
may purchase additional shares of Seal Fleet, Inc. stock, or may dispose of
shares of Seal Fleet, Inc. stock, based upon its or his investment decisions.

     The Issuer's preliminary proxy statement filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on March 26, 1997, describes several proposals the Board of
Directors of the Issuer intends to present to the shareholders of the Issuer at
the Issuer's next annual meeting.  These include an increase in the authorized
capital stock of the Issuer, a merger of the Issuer into its wholly-owned
subsidiary in order to change the state of incorporation of the Issuer from
Nevada to Delaware, a reduction in the minimum number of authorized directors of
the Issuer to three, the removal of a restriction requiring the Issuer's Board
of Directors to obtain shareholder approval before concluding its initial
acquisition and one for fifty reverse stock splits of the Issuer's Class A and
Class B common stock followed by twenty-five for one forward stock splits of
such shares.  As a member of the Board of Directors, Mr. Ferguson voted to
recommend those proposals to the shareholders of the Issuer.

     Except as stated above, neither First Magnum Corporation nor Thomas M.
Ferguson currently has any plan or proposal which relates to any of the matters
set forth in Item 4(a)-(j) of Schedule 13D.

Item 5 - INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

     First Magnum Corporation and Mr. Ferguson own the following numbers of
shares of Class A and Class B common stock of Seal Fleet, Inc.:

     Pledgor has executed a Promissory Note (the "Note") in favor of Pledgee
dated as of the date hereof in the original principal amount of $120,000.  The
Note relates to a loan made by Pledgee to Pledgor, the proceeds of which Pledgor
applied to the acquisition of 240,000 Shares of the Class A common stock of
Pledgee (the "Shares").  Pledgor desires to pledge the Shares to Pledgee as
security for the performance of the obligations of Pledgor under the Note and
under this Agreement.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises
herein, the parties agree as follows:

                               A G R E E M E N T

     1.  Pledgor hereby grants a security interest in the Shares to Pledgee to
secure the performance by Pledgor of his obligations hereunder and under the
Note.  Pledgor represents and warrants that the Shares are owned beneficially
and of record by Pledgor free and clear of all claims, liens and encumbrances
other than the security interest of Pledgee granted hereby.  Promptly following
his execution of this Agreement, Pledgor shall deliver to Pledgee the original
certificate representing the Shares, together with a stock power signed by
Pledgor in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto.

     2.  For and during the term hereof, so long as Pledgor is not in default
with respect to the payment of the interest or principal under the Note and is
not otherwise in default of his obligations hereunder and under the Note,
Pledgor shall maintain all rights to vote the Shares on all corporate matters,
and Pledgee shall execute any proxies which may be deemed necessary to enable
Pledgor to exercise his rights hereunder.

     3.  Upon payment in full of all sums due under the Note and hereunder,
Pledgee shall transfer the Shares to Pledgor, and this Agreement shall
terminate.

     4.  Upon any default by Pledgor with respect to his obligations hereunder
or under the Note, Pledgee may exercise any and all remedies available to it
under applicable law, including, without limitation, acceleration of all amounts
due under the Note and all remedies available to Pledgee as a secured creditor
under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of Florida. Without
limiting the foregoing, if Pledgor fails to make any payment provided for in the
Note when due or otherwise defaults under the Note or hereunder, Pledgee may,
upon five (5) days' notice to Pledgor, sent by registered mail, and without
liability for any diminution in price which may have occurred, sell any or all
of the Shares in such manner and 
<PAGE>
 
for such price as Pledgee may determine at any public or private sale. At any
such sale, Pledgee shall be free to purchase, for its own account, any or all of
the Shares. At such sale, payment to Pledgee for the Shares shall be made in
cash money and such price may not include a promissory note or other evidence of
indebtedness of the purchaser or of a third party, except that Pledgee may use
the Note as part or all of the consideration, if any, paid by Pledgee. Pledgee
shall apply the proceeds of such sale in the following order: (i) to reimburse
itself for all costs, expenses and fees (including attorneys' fees) on account
of such sale, (ii) to pay the outstanding balance of any amount due under the
Note or hereunder, and (iii) to pay any balance of such proceeds to Pledgor. In
the event that the proceeds of any sale are insufficient to cover all amounts
due under the Note and hereunder, plus the costs, expenses and fees in
connection with the sale, Pledgor shall remain liable to Pledgee for such
deficiency.

     5.  Pledgee and Pledgor agree to execute any and all documents necessary to
carry out the provisions and intent of this Agreement.  A waiver of any term or
provision herein contained shall not be deemed a waiver of any other term or
provision or subsequent breach of the same or any other term or provision
hereof.  This Agreement, and all of the terms hereof, shall inure to the benefit
of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs,
successors, executors, administrators or assigns.

     6.  If any legal action or other proceeding is brought for the enforcement
of this Agreement, or because of an alleged dispute, breach, default, or
misrepresentation in connection with any of the provisions of this Agreement,
the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees and
other costs incurred in that action or proceeding in addition to any other
relief to which it may be entitled.  The rights and remedies herein shall be in
addition to and cumulative with all other rights and remedies herein, under the
Note, or at law or in equity.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have duly executed this Agreement on
the day and year first above written.

PLEDGOR:                                          PLEDGEE:
