  • floating guess

    hi everyone, i might sound weird haha but i have to ask if it has been tested.

    Is an Argo can barely float without any tires/rim installed?

    If the axle holes are plugged I'm sure the Argo ought to float. After all, its basically a boat with wheels, isn't it?

      My .02 with disclaimer that I have not ever tried this. It's not as straightforward as it seems, since the wheels do add some flotation. And they also add, just as importantly if not more so, STABILITY. The hull of course would float. With the motor/tranny in the nose I am not positive the vents in the front wouldn't start to take on water. It may be pretty close. I'd guarantee it'll rock enough to be unsettling, if not prone to swamping. There's a picture of a swamped machine floating nose down, the tires alone were keeping it afloat.

      The big question is, why? Curiosity or a project?

          This is kinda the reason I'm trying to get the place I am as well. But if the cards will fall in my favor is yet to be determined....
