One
of the ARGOs most distinguishing features is its amphibious capabilities.
The ARGO is able to make it through all types of wetland environments
including slow moving streams, rivers and even small lakes. The ARGOs
specially designed tires are what allow it to effortlessly propel through
the water. While its top speed in water is 3 mph, with the optional
accessory of an outboard motor ARGOs are capable of reaching speeds of up to
10mph.
People across the globe are praising the ARGO for its remarkable
capabilities in water. Penny and Leo Trottier are the owners of the White
Wolf Resort Campground in Northern Ontario and use their ARGO for a plethora
of water related reasons. They use it to harvest bait minnows, go fishing
and even take their guest for ‘pleasure cruises’! Penny states that with
regard to the ARGOs handling within the water, her husband was duly
impressed. “He loved the ease of maneuvering it in the water and its ability
to go anywhere,” she says. Indeed, Leo has become somewhat of a fish because
of the amount of time he spends in his ARGO on the water. Leo had his most
memorable experience with his ARGO one night when a group of resort guests
were fishing out on the lake. 'Leo went out to see them,' remembers Penny,
'and all they could see was the ARGO's headlights coming toward them. They
thought it was a car or truck driving on the water!' |
