Argo's were meant to float, quads weren't. You're just setting yourself up for problems.

Ya get a bunch of empty 55 gallon drums, build an old fashioned 'swimming raft', (that's a platform supported by the empty drums), then put a ramp from the shore to the platform and drive your machine up onto it. Then you attach a rope to the front of the raft and put it in your teeth (Tarzan style) and swim across the 'water obstacle'. When you get to the other side, put the ramps down and drive the machine off. VIOLA! You're across and the machine is not water-logged. Save the basketballs for the court.

You're welcome... [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Despite the laughter and other things you are getting here, there is a way to get the bikes to
float, although you have to pull them through the water and you have to get wet. One of the old
3 wheeler tricks is to bring a few empty 5 gallon gas cans with you and strap them on the
bike before you cross the deep stuff. Just leave the engine idling when you cross to keep water
out of the exhaust and you will be fine. This only works in water you can walk in, if it is
10 feet of water, you will have to use some sort of raft, good luck with that.
