There is always at least one at the MSRA show, but its a first for me seeing one (2) in the water.

When I read the title to this thread I thought you were going to say you actually caught some fish.:p

It's neat to watch them drive into the water. There's an amphicar club that uses a reservoir near me.

We had a guy bring an Amphicar out to our lake one time ... it was fun standing at the ramp watching him drive in and out. Cool pictures.

I'd like to see one of the amphicars up close one day. I have found them interesting since I was a little kid.

Re: Odd day on the lake

problem is, you have to power load them, and then you get yelled at. Killed the market for them.
