It’s A Quad, It’s A Boat, No Wait—It’s An Argo!

[Guest Fox300exchic]

There is something in an off-roader’s soul that yearns for the freedom of crossing land without limits. An ATV satisfies this need by carrying us down trails with power and speed that we could never achieve on our own. Our desire to subdue nature is sated with a feeling of accomplishment when the combination of our skills and the capable bike under us prove sufficient to go over, around or through seemingly impossible obstacles. ATVs are like an i.v. of adrenaline when we are riding them on “terra firma”. But when we arrive at a body of water we are abruptly confronted with the limits of these machines, and the yearning to go continually onward wells up in us again.http://www.atvconnection.com/Features/Feature_Articles/Its-An-Argo.cfm

these have come a long way over the years ... i have seen some going 50+mph on land and going up to 15mph on water ... the newer 1's can also climb grades steeper than most quads can at very low speeds .... another 1 dug up by the post miner
