AMPHIBOUS QUAD BADLY NEEDS YOUR HELP! PLEASE READ
Posted: Wed Jan 20, 2010 3:16 pm
Hello,
My name is Donald and im new to the forum! I signed up because i need some help with a project a co-worker and i are working on!
So last year i took a 50cc childs quad, cut it apart and stuffed a 13h.p. moter inside!
Added a jack shaft and centrifical belt driven pulley system as a drive train, and made a custom seat (that my dog thought was a chew toy) to fit the new frame!
Well it rides great (55+ mph) but im bored and wanna start a new project!!!
Heres where you come in, i need to find two, six foot long "pontoons" to put outside the tires, assembled to a frame, that i can temporarily attach to the quad when i want to hit the lake fishing (Ha Ha) or cross the river, or just wanna try to make a quad float!! LOL
I cant find anything on the web, im sure im looking in the wrong places but im hoping you can help. if its one 12 footer that i have to cut down... thats fine! anything like that is ok we found some "dredger" pontoons we think would work perfect but cant find a place to buy just the pontoons!
I have attached some pics so you get an idea of what were trying to do!
I Hope you can help!!!
All info is appreciated and any ideas would be helpful!
Thanks again,
Donald
