Mich. firm builds amphibious car James Bond would want

Too pricey for my bones but maybe Polo can figure out a way to make them much less costly. Hmmmmm...... :cowboy:

meh, if I want a PWC I'll get a PWC. I prefer my machines to be task specific. You try to get them to do more than one thing and it won't do either well.

 

[al53]

thats just more to fix when something goes wrong....

 

[jgue498]

Well sure task specific is generally better

just thought of this for all the guys who love to treat their atv like a submarine, but then again this isn't meant to do that either! $42k is rather ridiculous but hey there are too many people with too much money around. For 42k you can get a really nice atv, really nice boat, nice travel trailer and still have change around for some good drinks!

 

[ThorsHammer]

yeah, I was thinking I could get a nice used 3/4 ton, two ATV's and Two PWC for $42k

I test drove one a couple months back at a dealer here. Not really that impressed with it. Nothing really bad to say about it, but nothing spectacular either. My biggest concern would be cracking the hull underneath on some of the terrain around here.

 

[ThorsHammer]

yeah, definitely a dirt road only type of ATV. more like a golf cart with hand bars that can float.

Amen & Well stated. Kind of like the term "Jack of all trades.... master of none!)

Ridin, how wide is it?

 

[Rayinmass]

Those thing's are like a all season tire, I.E. a tire that does nothing well

 

[RVS Performance]

I didn't take measurements, but they are about the size of a rzr and right about 50" wide. Would have liked to try it on water as I think it makes a better boat than atv. Sounds like its capable of 60-70 on land and 60+ on water as well. But governed down to 50 and 35 or something like that. Don't remember all the specifics.

 

[Scott6by]

that would be interesting. though I would think some type of Argo like machine would be better suited for Polaris maybe.

 

[jjack88]

id like to try one out just so i cld say i drove it. i think itwld be fun taking someone for a ride that didnt know it floated and just go flying into the lake lol

 

[whoppinpeelies]

42k!? I can buy a sweet ass quad ant a pwc for that and have money left over! Like Mustbenice said , "Jack of all trades, master of none" , I'm guessing that it is not great at either. Then you need watercraft registration AND atv registration....

 

[Rooskey]

Then you need watercraft registration AND atv registration....

Negative. This is the perfect machine for criminals,lol!! You can hide your pot crops in the deepest parts of the bayou and never get caught. Never seen a game warden on land and another on the water at the same time.
Just saying as a funny. Im not a criminal

 

[Scott6by]

what about something like this?

the Sand-X ATTV, I think it's based on a Can Am.

 

[indy]

from what I seen last year boating on Okoboji, you don't get the best of either world, buy a boat and a atv for less then what it costs

 

[ThorsHammer]

it was on this week's top gear. 40 hp on land 140 hp on water. and Jeremy said it was light.... with two engines I highly doubt that.
