I wasn't really sure what I was getting into, but trusting my lovely 2000 Sportsman 500 6x6 I inched off in to the water. The minute the rear wheels hit the water, the whole thing just plunged under water up to the handle bars. Thinking wisely I swiched it into (true)6 wheel drive and kept a stead pace. Before I knew it I was on the other side crawling out like it was nothing.
