The only one I've seen was on one of those Discovery channel type shows. Some west coast city (Portland maybe, I forget) bought some of the ATV version for beach/harbor rescue vehicles. That might be the optimal use for one.

There are hundreds of small lakes up this way with no boat access, if I had the $ one would work great for fishing those.

Not sure I'd be able to fish.....when there's fun to be had.....adrenaline junky that I am when on the roads without lines on'em.

The four wheeler was in a Top Gear episode.
Jeremy was riding the 4 wheeler, racing Richard in an Alfa 4C; Jeremy won.
That 4 wheeler will do 45mph on land and 45knots at sea; it uses a jet drive.
Oh yeah, the base model is $46,000.00
Pretty cool AUTV, for the price, it better be.

Nice toys but not for that price.

I remember that episode. Even though he won, he hid so Richard Hammond would think he won since he liked the Alfa Romeo 4C Spider. They showed him going really fast on it (Quadski) and loving it.

Do you remember Jeremy's comment when he hit rough water? Then they zoom in on that warning sticker; that was hilarious.

BWG, you beat me to this one by days and I failed to see your post! Perhaps our kind moderators will simply delete mine. Thanks for posting.
