        RD, you sure you stil have a bottom left in that thing? Amazing what you can do with that little boat. You must be able to access some amazing fishing places where not to many people can get to....Love the videos...keep them coming.

          WOW ....That was awsome! Makes me think that an aatv with a body built from aluminum and a slippery uhmw skid plate would probably be pretty tuff.

            That was not me, pretty sure I would be screaming like a little girl if I had been there. I found the clip on another site and had to share it.... Right after I stopped twitching and picked my jaw up off the keyboard.

            I think you're right. I've always wanted to build one of those little boats. Maybe someday.

                I agree, very impressive. I would love to get my hands on a set of plans for those little units. I always wanted to build my own jetboat, and that looks like just the ticket.

                  6061 T-6 Super high tensile aluminum is very tough stuff. Looks like he armored the bottom as well before adding the UHMW skin. Armor might have been another layer of 6061, or it might have been AR Steel plate. Either way, I agree with you, he did some damage, but it might not be as bad as you think.
                  I've hit rocks hard enough to jump my 18ft jetboat about 4 ft out of the water without any more damage than a scuff mark in the UHMW. ( I've also cracked/broken almost every weld in the bottom of my boat. Some more than a few times, lol)

                      In the last video, that truck was winched up the whole hill. If you watch the first part of the hill climb you will see the front of the truck hang in the air for a minute. I still wouldn't have wanted to be in the truck.

                          I was really just mad that a guy in a 4x4 could make it up a hill that I couldn't in a 6x6 so I had to find something to blame.

                            I gotta agree with you Mike but it makes for an awsome video...you could actually see it high center when they drug it up over the crest of the hill...

                            The boat one was amazing though and no doubt the real deal...way cool

                            Fun video
