Mystery 6x6

[Coop]

coosaridgerider....Yes, very nervous, I didn't know what to expect. But it wasn't tippy at all, and floats high in the water.

Michaeljp86...The jet drive moves it along faster than the tires, with less engine reving, and the steering is more responsive. I didn't get a chance to play with it to much, all the moving around I did with the jet was with the jet only, the tires weren't moving, I'm curious to see how it goes with the tires turning and the pump working.

Here is a vid with the jet drive running. It is long, I can't seem to get the editing function on Y-Tube to work, so the engine is runing up till 2:35, after that I'm just floating till the end when I finally get it running by bypassing the fuel pump.

The just floating part was the funniest.

It moves pretty good. Does it drink a lot of gas? Seems like it would with that size of engine.

you will be able to go trolling the shore line with that thing

I haven't run it to much yet so I don't know about the gas usage yet. It has (2) 5 gallon tanks in it, teed together.

I plan on using it to look at the shore banks when hunting for arrowheads in the rivers.

you find arrow heads in the river. They must be hard to spot. You think they were used for fishing?

[Coop]

I find them in the banks of the river, especially after the ice carves out the banks in the spring, and after floods. The rivers are not in the same place and as wide as they were 3ooo-10000 years ago, the river changes course over the years, so the artifacts I find in the river could have been woodland thousands of years ago.

Wow, those arrow heads are really cool! Thats sounds really fun just wondering along the riverside searching for them. Nice collection.

You machine sounds awesome! Looks like it will work out really nice for the arrowhead hunting. That jet drive looks to work really nice. Thanks for the videos!

Just FYI, To embed the videos there is a filmstrip button you can click on that says insert video when the cursor is over it. Then just copy the youtube link into it. Then it will show up as a video instead of a link.

do you bring a gold pan with you in case you find an interesting spot to try. I think having one of these machines and gold prospecting would go hand in hand I am going to keep mine in my machine when I go exploring.

LarryW...Yes, collecting the arrowheads is an addictive hobby. Thanks for the tip on how to embed a vid, I didn't know that.

azzz7772....Not much gold here in the east

Man that thing moves very well in water.When riding solo you have to slide over in the seat to adjust your weight and make the machine level out then it will handle a lot better.Just a suggestion.Very cool machine.
