Has anyone seen or tried the Hoot AATV?

Is it possible that you are referring to a Coot? Coots are 4 wheel with articulating front and rear half's. If so I did see a website that is re manufacturing it. I believe it is being made in Africa.

I saw one at a dealership in new hampshire last year , I did not see it go but it looked like a lot of fun to try out it carried two people and the seat had a shock in it to give it a somewhat smooth ride.

Here's the Promo Video for the Hoot, from Knox Outdoor Products.

Looks like all is not well in Hootville

That just seems like a financial squabble with owners, investors, and management that took place in 2003 and early 2004 when Hoot was first being manufactured. I think the company itself is still in good standing.

Although it was interesting to read that they didn't sell ANY Hoots for the first 6 months of manufacturing but continued to manufacture them anyway.

I tried a hoot at a new hampshire deeler a few years ago. I think when they first came out. I didn't like it at all. seemed very top heavy and very cheap.

Bw6,

Ray seeing as you know the hoot I have a question about the lack of frame. Is it durable enough with just the fiberglass body?

It seems to me any Machine that is bulit with fiberglass = body repair.

However that is on older machines I don't know how far fiberglass has come in 20 years

I inquired about the Hoot ETV some time ago via email because the dealer in Ontario from the Hoot website did not give any other contact details. It took a long time for any one to get back to me so I was not sure on there business operating status. I liked the fact that it fit into pickup truck but was not happy with it only seating one person. I figured if the price was right I would just get two machines or more. This puts me back to towing a trailer so unless this one has a price advantage over the Argos and Maxes I would stick with them. I was quoted approximately $10995 CND with snow tracks option plus taxes and delivery. Less then the Argos and Maxes I was quoted on but not by much, plus I can get an Argo or possible a Max used. I recently cam across the thread saying the Max II can fit in a full size truck too. This I got to see for myself for some reason when I measured one up at a boat show I determined it would need to go on a trailer.
