Hey, Rebel, welcome to the forum. I've gone deeper than these two videos. This was a time I remembered to bring a camera along. Water/Mudhole and Number 2 There was a mudhole that had some water on it and submerged rocks about a foot tall. I almost didn't make it through that one. I had to winch out my son on the ATP. He almost made it but bogged down in the last 5 feet.

Actually, no. It came out just fine. I have everything waterproof. Polaris makes the best water bike IMO. I drove it right out without missing a lick....................

Wow that is cool but I do have to say you are first I have person to have called a Polaris waterproof [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] LOL. But if it works for you that is great I can honestly say I have had no electrical issues with mine except a broken ground wire.

Well I wouldnt say they are waterproof from the factory, but can be very easily. They make good water bikes because they are so HEAVY. I added 18lbs. of water in each back tire and 10lbs. of water in each front, just to keep it on the bottom..............I keep all my electrical connections greased.

Good call I ride in water as well but not to the extreeme you are in your pics. I have also had my Raptor in some good spots as you can see in my pics, thoe people on 4x4's always give me the look of amazement after getting trough those tough spots!
