  • When @RichRebuilds asks you if you want to go on a Sherp amphibious adventure through the city you say YES! This is exactly how we found ourselves in the Charles river floating through Boston, Massachusetts. The Argo is absolutely unstoppable in the city and floats like a boat. Maxes out at about 3 MPH full submerged but steers well and feels very stable.

    • @andymanaus1077
      @andymanaus1077 2 года назад +16

      What really sets Sherps apart from other ATVs is the ability to bush-repair almost any problem. They are mechanically simple almost to the point of being primitive and that means they need only basic tools and skills to fix them. They are sold with their own tool kit and common spare parts. The tyres can be self-inflated on the move and they can also run flat. Water in the fuel, however, will stop just about anything -- even a Sherp.

    Aren’t you guys geniuses, when you go into the water you’re a boat. Life vests, anchors, oars, throwable flotation, flares, all the things you need in a boat! Great job planning ahead, and probably violating 10 laws. And was it registered as boat? I guess the driver didn’t learn his lesson when he was stopped with an unregistered vehicle in a past video! Pure genius!

    I just had a thought while I was watching this video your running on one gallon cans of fuel with a hose stuck in it so why not do the same thing with the fuel tank but keep the end of the hose at about the middle of the tank,the water and the fuel should be separated in the tank just like it was in the bottle. I say you really didn't have to go through all that it just makes sense to me I was a truck driver for many years and if I got water in my refer tank I just opened the petcock on the bottom of the tank and drained the water no big deal.

      Fuel that is stored in the wheels are like a jerrycan with the shape of the inside of the wheel. You have to manually ad the fuel to the main tank of the Sherp making sure you balance all the 4 fuel storage on the wheels so they weight the same.

    On a navigable River, you’re allowed to camp out on the river. Would be cool to anchor in a river by a large city and get a unique free place to legally camp out. There could be regulations about where you’re allowed to anchor due to freight barges and other things that would take precedent.
