My Trackster Build

Looks like they swim good.

I can't be really tell, the one guy has an outboard on his for crossing the river, the vid I linked was too distant to really tell if he was swimming or bottom skipping. One thing is certain though, I'll know if they swim when mine is up and going. ( mumbles something about "can't be any slower than the 950 with 22" rawhide III's on it")

Found a couple, here's one of them, this is about 3.5 hours ne of my hometown.

Nice sounding machine, I'll have to try and look this guy up.

That would be a bad day

Right you are Michael, a VERY bad day indeed. Holy cow, if that happened to me I think it would be better to just stay on the bottom with it than to have to tell the wife it sank! Just kidding, she ain't that bad, I could always just tell her that aliens abducted me and kept it... not going for that one huh, how about BIGFOOT jacked it while I had my back turned? NO? Well...er... ummm...

Here is one of mine with a Briggs Vanguard engine in it...

One of ... wow Coop just how many of these did you say you have? Nice machine, by the way!

That looks like fun.

It does look like fun, but we rarely ever get more than a light dusting of snow down this way... Dang global warming!!!

I love all the vids of tracksters guys. But what I meant about not finding trackster vids on the tube was that I've yet to find a marsh model tearing it up in the wet nasty. Kinda has me wondering if maybe I bought a submarine with tracks

Neat machine, just wondering about heat from the hydraulics? Does it get hot inside the machine?

No, the one in the snow won't float, but was advertised to manage up to 20" of water safely. The first vid is a generation 2 marsh model, the tub and float ring are one unit. Seems as though the gen 1 models with the detachable ring had a nasty habit of the float ring floating off in deep water. That's why I will be glassing the ring and tub together.

It is the flotation collar that makes it a marsh model.
