    This kind of travel does look amazing, and it certainly is new to many folks. But over 20 years ago when I lived in Alaska, friends would run their full-size snowmobiles across ice-free lakes and up/down rivers. As long as they maintained speed and near WOT they could run for miles, returning to solid ground whenever they liked. I never did this with my snowmachine and in truth very few snowmachiners ever did this. As you'd expect, sometimes the machine would sink, just like the R/C cars/trucks.

    To see full-size cars/trucks do this, check out Jay Leno's new TV show "Jay Leno's Garage".

      I love the 'No fishing while boats in water' sign!

        Ive thought about doing this with my Vorza. Paddles check, waterproof electronics check, wheel speed check, cajones TBD. I just cant fathom the possibility of sinking it. Wonder what a catamaran with a paddle tire in the middle would do?.................
