If things go well for me finacially in 2009 , I also plan on installing six 13.5 x 12 Vampire , ASX tires, just like jpswift and Don have on their 980 Bigfoot,s. Those ASX tires sure look sweet on a Bigfoot.I do plan on posting pictures and video,s of the build up this coming summer. My friend wildtexasranger and I have already built a custom wrap around band out of 3/16 angle iron.

I went with a 94 Max II 16hp. Simply because of closer location. Had I had the time to drive twice the distance it would have been the hustler hands down. I had already found three that were in good shape but sold quick. I had certain criteria that I wanted to meet with my decision the main one being that my wife and nine year old daughter would enjoy it. Seeee, now they have something that they can ride in when they come with me and our six year old son when we go riding our quads. (and Dad can play with it during deer season, finding a honey fishing hole, or any other time that they are not using it.) Also the Max II met some others as well. Like, roll bar, windshield, winch etc. and is in good shape, and I felt I got a fair deal. When the guy started it, it was -2 degrees with winds up to 55 mph snow and ice, and it started right up. A good going over with some needed maintenance and I think I'll have a decent machine. Besides, I like tinkering with stuff like this anyway. Now between you, me, and the fencepost, had I been getting this for me alone............It would have been the 500 superchief listed in the classifieds on here recently. Price was right, and I would have drove. Just my choice. Thanks for everyones input.
Great,Superclyde,
Welcome to the world of amphibious riding.Have you ever owned an amphib of any kind?The hustler 950 I have is my second one I previously owned a Max IV and I must say that I am happy for youno matter WHAT you drive.A couple words of warning though First whatever you do,if you decide to put a skid plate on it be sure to contour it to the bottom of the tub(if you build it yourself)or buy one from the factory(preformed)I built a flat one from aluminum and was stuck in places that I drive the 950 right through.No fault of the machine,just didn't realize that the small area between the chain channels was that big of a deal...WRONG!
Second :are you,like me,a(ssshhh don't say this to loud)a 4x4 owner.WOW you do realize that driving an amphib(even once)can be very detrimental to your relationship with your(ssshhh make sure nobody is watching)4x4.Read my post "the Ultimate Insult".Anyway I believe this:no matter what amphib you start out with,once you get a taste of it no other recreational atv can compare to these things.
