Has anyone ever seen a drive system like this on a boat?

Yes, but down South we add about 50 percent water to the field and call it "mud bogging". A boat hull on a 4WD chassis helps to keep some of the mud out of the vehicle and off the occupants. Free-time and money produce interesting hobbies!

That is one of them there new "Boat-Cars". I will bet it's fast on land, and slower in the water!

Yup...it's called a Duck. As for boat-cars, Amphicars were out in the 60's.

Yeah my friend had one. It was a old Blazer chassis with 40" monster mudders on it. I'm not sure what kind of boat he used but it had a windshield like a t bucket and wings on the back like a caddie.

He used to drive it around Samsula FL Bimini top, fishing rods, stuffed sailfish, wakeboard w/ skate trucks, and blonde with sailors hat.

Real fun way to go to the bars.

I wish could remember where I saw it,but I saw a magazine article about a class A motor home that would go in the water just like an amphicar.
It was really expensive but what a ride that would be.

I saw a TV show about this, it was incredible.:) It had air bags on either side for stability while in the water and the back or one of the sides(can't remember) folded open into a deck for sitting on.:D I think the price tag was in the Millions though.:(
