    What in the world ? Anyone know Why someone would do this ?

    I found this when i was surfing kijiji... I am guessing the "pod tubes" are for extra floatation.. But why would one need to do this ? Has anyone done this ? If so, what was the benefit ? Ive taken my argo accross a lake before, it was a long time ago, but to my best recollection it never felt "tippy"...

    It could be for added stability in the water. That machine has a pretty tall cargo rack.

    The higher you float, the faster you go. Also if you overload the machine in the water, they would help keep it stable.

    some people only use there argos for water so its nice to have a bit more flotation.

    I use my Max IV on the local lake quite a bit for fishing. I use a trolling motor on the front and have added a couple of foam floats to the front under the winch mount to keep the front more stable. Boat wakes can swamp you fairly easy.

    The same concept applies to anything, take a kayak, put an outrigger on it, and it becomes an extremely stable platform. If I recall, this particular machine had floats that could be raised and lowered to be either off road or on the water ready.
