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.

Just walk. :cool2:

Since you mentioned that you have several flooded sections of your road, I think that you should buy a small cheap jon boat or canoe and then build a lightweight frame with axles under it (use wood 2x4rs). For the dry sections of the road, power it with a 5-10 hp gas motor with a centrifugal clutch and use a #40 chain hooked to a sprocket on the drive axle. Leave the gas traction engine idling while you fire up the boat motor for the flooded sections. Or maybe you could have a propeller driven by the small engine that spins all the time that the wheels are spinning so that you would easily transition from pavement to flooded (no boat motor needed).
