    I used to drive these in the Australian Army, like first comment, need ballast in the back. Also before all water operations we took off all inspection hatches and drain plugs then greased them up and put them back on. We sealed everything with grease!

    I drove the M548 in the Canadian Armed forces, with an empty back you need to add ballast, it keeps the front up. Just for future reference if you try any of the other 113 family add ballast. With the amount of water coming in it looks like you lost a drain plug

    It was super cool to actually see this in person! We were the people who met you earlier that day with the red MasterCraft.

    hey D maybe put some air baffles on the front of the tank to compensate for the extra weight and maybe put tanks on the back that you can fill up with water to level it out and then you can drain the water out when you get back on dry land so its not so heavy!! btw love this video!! you always come up with some awsome shows

    Back in the 80's , me and my family were camping on the north end of Deer Creek when the National Guard showed up with some type of amphibious vehicle about 3x the size of Heavy D's machine here. They loaded up a bunch of us in the camp ground we were at and then proceeded to head towards the boat ramp and splash! Only, I was about 5 years old. I had no clue what was going on other than I was going to take a ride on the Army vehicle. Imagine my shock when I thought they were about to murder me! Anyways, they took us out for about an hour Stroll and allowed the adults to do dives off the water craft. I totally recommend you do this if you ever get the opportunity.
