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

            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.

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

                      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...

                      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

                              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")
