Now THIS is awesome (More Hooniverse content)

Except maybe forward visibility.

like many cabin cruisers of that era.. you would stand behind the wheel.

The load/ unload process has got to be an itch with a capital "B".

I love it. That is awesome.

In reply to SVreX:

I dunno, looks like the pontoons might flip over quite easily, and in the down position might hang pretty near the ground (if the truck is not in the water at all).

All I know is that thing is sweet.

Even a small John boat (which is less than 25% of the weight of that thing) would be hard to flip upside down to a position 6' off the ground.

Where does the motor go when a camper? Pretty much takes up all the floor space.

To me, it is pretty non-sensical, and falls deeply into the catagory of "we did it because we could".

Waay too much of a compromise on all counts.

It would be like trying to make an amphibious car autocross well.

(Yeah, I know. Some of you are already searching EBay for amphibious cars)

In reply to SVreX:

Its awesome. You're wrong.

While I agree it's a huge compromise, Paul, you don't flip the whole thing, just the pontoons.

In reply to Duke:

Ooops, you're right.

I missed that.

That makes me question the strength of the entire hinge arrangement, or pivot, or whatever is holding the pontoons on.

Thats pretty darn cool

You are really thinking too much...

In reply to SVreX:

Why must you tear down anything that is just a little bit out of the ordinary

Those attachment points would have to be extremely strong though.

Oh! Why didn't you say you wanted stuff out of the ordinary??

This is kind of like a G.I. Joe vehicle. Cool but it doesn't make any sense if you think about it.
