You know, I bought the plans from Popular Mechanics years ago to build one! They're still around here somewhere, but I just never got around to getting it done. Theirs only carried 3 people but it would climb a 25 degree slope, perfect for most boat ramps. The bendable plywood just wasn't to be found in my area.

My son and I are considering several options for a vehicle to get us through 5 ft of water. Our mile long asphalt road leading to the state road gets covered with water from our river at least once a year. The road has high and low spots and even though we had 5 ft of water on it we still had one 300 ft stretch which was dry. So, we need something that will get us through 5 ft of water and dry land. I've been boating my son, daughter-in-law and grandkids out on the river for work and school to the local boat launch but I don't like doing that in a swollen river. The mile long road I want to use is fed water by the river, through a swamp. It has very little current during flooding. During flooding residents canoe, kayak and wade the road.

Options we are considering:
--Military deuce and a half. Those are available through Craig's list etc but I'm concerned with maintenance, parts, etc.

--Some type of amhibious ATV, etc

--Airboat with wheels.

If anyone has any experience with any of these options or if you have any other opinions I would appreciate your input.

Thanks

Now we have the answer to those who say ice is disappearing due to warming trends.

Clearly, its this guy's evil plot to remove ice from around the globe.

:D
I bet the guys who like to ice fish really hate this guy
