Took my first swim as a AATV owner today and gotta say I'm not impressed with my Hustlers swimming ability. Its a mid 80's 950 and running 22" Cheng-Shin tires (look just like Wooly Boogers). The front 2 are backwards for swimming, which is how they were when I got it, but the back 4 are turned correctly. Will that make a lot of difference in the water?
I drove off the local boat ramp and was maybe 15-20 ft out. Took me 5 minutes to get turned around and then I seemed to have almost zero control over direction or no forward motion, was in the water maybe 5-10 min total.
Also took on about 2 inches of water. Do the Wheel bearings seal out water, or the flange gaskets where they bolt to the outer body?
Any insights will be helpful. I'll post pics later this evening of the machine and the tires.
