my 350 rancher floats. But not with a rider on it. And the water is like halfway up the engine when it is floating. I have walked across a pond with the quad next to me and the water was up to my waist and the rancher was floating next to me. It doesn't float like on top of the water though. It floats in it.

 

mmmm yeah, my 350 will float a little bit, but nothing spectacular...i know the 400 wont float

 

Foremans float I found out weekend before last. I have a post on here called Foremans Float. Check it out. I was floating out into the lake seat deep when I realized what was happening. I weigh 180 and was still on it in gear trying to get back to shore. Finally I put it in 4wd and I guess the tires paddled me close enough to start touching the ground. The air box took in a couple inches of water but none in the engine oil. I was probably only floating about 1 or 2 minutes but it seemed like an eternity!! So sure, I bet RANCHERS FLOAT!!

 

Well I sunk my stock 01 ES 2x and neither time, with me on it or not, did it ever attempt to float high enough to keep the exhaust out of the water. I think I've got a picture to prove it, I'll look. The other incident was late at night and after we broke throught the ice, cold stuff.

 

negative, ive made this mistake on my rancher at once already, i was on a severe decline trying to cross a creek when before i knew it i was up to my led display in water. before backing out my atv drowned out i was was pushing it up that incline so i could stand it up and get the water out. dont know if this matters but my weight is 230, which makes it hard for a john boat to float!!!
