That mossy oak camo , Bigfoot sure looks sweet

Thanks for the tip guys. The previous owner had put them that way for the mud. They sure work better that direction for that, but if I go into an area where I know there will be some decent water crossings I will swap the front two from side to side.
I also really like that Camo bigfoot! Wish my body was in that pattern on my conquest!

I carry my Minkota trolling motor with me, most of the time. It takes up very little space in my 8x8 Argo Conquest & I can reach the extended handle from the front, but usually stand in the back & hang on the the front seat-back for fishing needs or to cross over quick & quiet! I can shut off the Argo & run silent so as not to spook the fish!

I have been looking into trolling motors for my Argo. How long is the shaft on your motor? How many lbs of thrust or hp does it have? Do you have a seperate battery for it? How fast does it move you? Thanks

Salamander, I like your Argo,the camo is great.

Cory, what can I say, nice looking machine, and a great place to ride.
I haven't been to Alaska for a few years, I want to come back to go salmon fishing again. I wish I would have had a 6x6 there then.

Cory,,,What I have heard,,,is the back tires do the swimming,,I still have all of mine (6x6) on like salamander does,,I have not tried switching the front over to the way you have them now,,Maybe you should take your 8x8 for a swim now,,then just change the back 4 around,,see how it swims then. Someone on here should have that answer for you.,,,,Mark

Well come on up. Trailer the 6x6 up here this summer and lets go fishing!

I will have to do some experimenting it sounds like. swapping the rear two would work out better for pulling out of the banks and running through the mud since the weight is in the front. Sure hope thats right! Still a few more weeks till ice out though!

Think I figured 6 possible combos of tire positions, trying to get the most out of my poor swimmers. The way your conquest is now, in water, will pull out of the steepest bank in reverse. The back end being lighter mainly plus the tire direction. You can also back into water on a steeper or higher bank. The back tires doing the most swimming idea, is if they're out of the water further, ie not loaded. If you were caught in big waves, going in reverse with the back end higher... lots of things to think about. Some tires and direction will raise or lower the front end by pushing or pulling water under the tub. Like you said lot's of ways and testing. I would be inclined to run the back three in swim position and only the front in mud traction, if at all, because I know how poorly the rawhides swim the way you have them on. But you can always swim in reverse. You will like the way the runamuks swim! They don't do much in reverse, however. You'll like the ride, too. Try to stay off pavement and hard surface and not wear the fins down.

The Mossy Oak camo blends perfectly with wetland spring colors here in Ontario. Glad to hear y'all like it too!
