This ATV Is Also a Boat?!

[@lyradiation]

A wedding vow that you'd go on every Craigslist Adventure with Riley, wow that is amazing! He's a good man, I bet, if you cannot go because of something out of your control, he's going to help you keep that promise! You guys rock!

[@PleasantSuprise]

Whoa!! Didn’t expect that twist!!! Yes all electric!!! That would be awesome!!

[@jgalietto]

I don't comment here generally but felt compelled to. We see Riley smiling and laughing regularly not so much Courtney. It warmed me to see the huge smiles and deep laughter on her.

[@retiredlogman]

The great thing about KZbin is that Oliver will be able to refer back and say "but you did it " !!

[@juanitaespiricueta3863]

Courtney's laughter was so cute!!!! Riley and his toys, Oliver will be having lots of fun with daddy♥

[@thegrantdanielsband]

With Alaskan Bush tracks you will go where sleds can't even go and no ATV will ever follow you!! These things are real workhorses from getting firewood to hunting to fishing and much much more 🙂

[@kingrafa3938]

Great purchased of that machine guys.

[@LostWalletFab]

Just found you two, and you're now my favorite channel. Look forward to catching up with all your great content. People like you two keep the cable bill away. Thanks!

[@CityDude72]

I started watching a few months ago I had a lot of catching up to do too.

[@walkingthruyourdata-6019]

made me think Riley may have lost his toy to the smiling Courtney...sorry Dad.

[@ejcastro9518]

The best part of this video is all the joy and laughter you two experienced while experimenting w your new toy! I'm glad you guys bought yourselves something fun. Looking forward to see what you make of it

[@John-N797]

BEST VIDEO EVER!! Can't wait to see the conversion! It's going to be dope!!! Why lie!!!

[@ChatterontheWire]

lol nice boat. To make sure you don't get ticketed later make sure to throw your whistle, life jackets, etc in the back.

[@loucinci3922]

You two are something else. Oliver is going to have so much fun growing up. What adventures await. Thanks for sharing

[@AL_K_]

How fun!! 20 minute episode of you 2 smiling ear to ear the whole time is great!!

[@CptnSavage]

Congratulations Riley and Courtney! ! ! We are all looking forward to your adventures with your new toy. And yes, a baby seat is a necessity. The places you'll go and the things you will see with your new toy. WOW

[@fredericrike5974]

Make sure it has built in floatation!

[@mwahlgreen]

I LOVE that you are going electric on this one... Looking forward to see you make that goal

[@Buck1954]

I was going to say that if you get the middle of it high centered you will loose traction and stop moving. But then you did it. Just be careful about deep mud because that can happen. You know Riley, everything has a limit. If you roll that thing without a cage you'll be stuck under it.

[@antonrehling1966]

A few people watching from the dock and over 100k watching on the income stream. You guys have arrived in the KZbin top tear of channels. Congratulations on realizing your effort. I am working to launch my KZbin channel.

[@jaypadulchick1355]

You guys are like 2 little kids! ❤❤ Your kids will have a blast with you and your toys!!

[@richb8061]

Every new video that has come out since the baby came has me thinking…. Wow… you guys did sooo much work on content development in that last trimester.

[@AmbitionStrikes]

We were certainly busy! It got a little bit harder the more pregnant I got. 😂

[@fredericrike5974]

@@AmbitionStrikes the truly wild part of that ride is still ahead for you as your child first learns to communicate then walk and talk back to you. You will be entertained for years to come, I'm sure! This child is the biggest most ambitious project you are likely to ever undertake -, and I can think of none I know who are better tempered and equipped to do this up right! The ATV is this winter's project and a worthy one- I can see Riley's Reckless genes roaring around in it already!

[@markdebano944]

That’s awesome you two. Something you might want to look at and you two probably could build are tracks for the Argo. I’m up in northern lower Michigan and people have them up here. Once they put tracks on they will go anywhere!! If you check they also make Windshields back seats and inclosers for them to. Have fun with it but be careful!!!

[@thisolesignguy2733]

You guys got something fun! My buddy Mark has one of these, he went down to the bobcat repair shop and got some tracks to go over the tires...it works 10x better on land & water. We also have floats on the sides that you use for kayaks mounted, they give you a little more stability and it's a great place to carry a cooler and extra poles 😉

[@dachsdk1559]

Thats gonna be an awesome project! ⚡

[@gregglewis6641]

If anybody can do it y’all can! Don’t forget a ROLL BAR , SEATBELTS, and LIFE JACKETS! When you do it. “Just saying “ I can’t wait 😊

[@antonrehling1966]

I know the place you launched you're new toy into the lake. We share the same stomping grounds. I am sure one day we will meet. You are a capable and creative couple that appears to work well together. I have followed you from the beginning of your overlanding vehicle. My thoughts are, your channel is in the process of exploding to a million subscribers. 👍💪😎

[@chrislundberg1]

Last time I seen that smile was with big tractor, I had the six wheel older version was allot of fun .

[@bud1971]

I rebuilt an old Hustler 6x6. That Argo looks to be in really good shape. With all of the snow you guys get, tracks will be a worthy investment.

[@LTDunltd]

When you said that you were going to cut it apart, I thought OH NO!!!! Don't destroy that awesome machine. But at the end where you said you guys were going to convert it to electric, I felt better and have to agree with that. Looking forward for the conversion videos.

[@tramplife1984]

You can put a small outboard motor on some models. Sit in the back and run the out board.

[@rongendreau6029]

Loved the video your new Argo. It was great seeing the city beach at the mouth of Sand creek to launch your new toy. It was nice to see down town and bring back many memories. Thanks love all your videos.

[@bellofbelmont]

Looks like a great project. With the batteries you may be able to get the balance further back so it will handle better in the water. Well done and thanks. Jim Bell (Australia)

[@bwcok7947]

Looked like the rear passenger side was throwing water off the spare and into the inside of the Argo. Does it have an automatic bilge? You could easily integrate a 112 lbs thrust trolling motor into your plans also! Does your state have a dual land/water craft license? A cool Lowrance display pad/screen for GPS on land and water is an idea! Bimini top for sunny day fishing trip/jeep trail excursions! Cast and go fast!

[@sammycda]

Love it. Guessing this video was shot in pre-Ollie days? Now you need a Rokon to go with it.

[@davidward1259]

So, if Riley says "I'm going to go wash the ARGO", that means he is going to the lake and let the lake do the washing!!!! That thing looks like so much fun! Also I think they make a track conversion for snow.

[@captain_coleton]

Rich Rebuilds made one all-electric, I am excited to see your take on the project.

[@gregorybarth930]

That's one way to wash the mud off ! Cool little machine

[@gregsimpson621]

This is an awesome vehicle and video. And it seems Riley ALWAYS gets stuck, no matter what he is driving which is hilarious. But I know he always wants to push any vehicle to see what it can do. This was an extremely fun video to watch!!!

[@Moist_yet_Crispy]

Good job with those drone shots in that new thing!

[@bc-guy852]

A new baby boy and another new toy! You two are just livin' the dream!! Congratulations on it all! Love from BC.

[@michaelleitold2446]

You’re just a big kid😂 and that thing looks like a lot of fun. Look forward to seeing what you’re gonna do with it in the future. Mike from Montreal.

[@rawalankur]

Started with an all terrain, then you both slayed the road with the CAT and then the ice with snow blower and now water. I think the next one is going to be a single prop plane

[@calvinboykin4777]

I hope not. The ground is very unforgiving! We’ve started to feel like grandparents to these kids. Let’s not do the plane thing.

[@davescorneroftheworld1147]

I have watched you two for almost a year. You work GREAT together and I am sooooo glad you got a TOY !

[@wallykramer7566]

This experience had Courtney _way_ passed her usual chuckling! Converting into an electric vehicle is such a great idea! I was thinking that when you first started it up. When it in the water, how does it propel itself and steer? I didn't see a propeller nor a rudder.

[@rongendreau6029]

Loved the video your new Argo. It was great seeing the city beach at the mouth of Sand creek to launch your new toy.

[@gbsbill]

Riley we have watched you work you butt off with the Dozer, it is nice to see you having so much fun!!!

[@davideggleston4793]

That looked like a blast 🎉. The conversion of a partially water vehicle to electric could be shocking. So be careful with the separation of electricity and water. Consider a back propeller if weight distribution stays the same to amplify water speeds.

[@jasong7374]

These use to be popular in New Zealand in the 90s, but due to the high maintenance of the chains most went back to ATVs, keep an eye on the shaft seals and keep up with the maintenance on the chains and you can't go wrong, interested to see what you power it with, All the best with this project

[@clintgoodson4657]

yes they are very high maintenance. I still have an old six x six and our squad had an 8x8. Drive belts, fuel pumps and chains were issues.

[@darrinbree3521]

You can get tracks that go over your wheels that make that machine work a lot better in the snow

[@JamesMcnichol-ss2oc]

Get the skid plates for it. A windshield too. These are very cold to drive in winter. The soft top cab enclosure too. Put a winch on front and back. Get the rubber tracks to. Adare make a great set of tracks beaver dam are also good tracks if you don’t want to purchase the Argo tracks.

[@dingdong00002]

one thing this channel does well..... variety! awesome guys.... your little one is going to be one lucky bambino, growing up learning man skills from mum, and dad jokes... from dad. awesome. good luck

[@musicman5299]

I am pretty sure you're suppose to put premium in that thing! you'll eventually wreck the motor! keep up on the knock sensors!

[@john91187ff]

Can’t wait till you discover tracks and a small outboard motor

[@andrew6446]

Those are so COOL. Used one on an Alaskan trip a few years ago, thing went through almost anything. Have fun, I am sure you will adapt and improve it.

[@lauraquigley6403]

Hi Courtney & Riley! Love the new machine! Love the wedding vows Courtney! Riley is like a kid in a candy shop😅! Courtney’s laugh is priceless while riding in the machine!🙏🙏🙏Blessing’s

[@stevenmoffettone3811]

That thing looks like a lot of fun can't wait to see what you're doing with it

[@OEWanderer]

Argo Warning: I used to operate one of these for my former employer. They can indeed be a lot of fun. Part of our mandatory training for operating this went over the usual, however one thing that stuck in my mind is the clear "Do not drive on clear/dry asphalt or concrete". Apparently, the torque created at full throttle can snap an axle at the stationary wheels if they are unable to easily spin on the horizontal axis. We were told that the friction of even clean dry asphalt or concrete was enough to cause issues. This was training based off the of the manufacturer's recommendations to only operate in sand, gravel, rock, water, etc. where the braked side can easily slide while the drive side is engaged forward. Just thought I'd share, might be worth looking into. Although if you did break it, I'm sure you all could fix it better anyways. 🙂

[@gusswenson7811]

Hi Guys.. That was Great.. The best thing I saw was the Smile on both your faces.. Priceless!!!! But… I bet your Smile is even bigger with the new little one… Thank you for sharing your adventures and your life with us. God Bless you… Stay safe and always be kind.. Cheers to life…

[@nigeljarawlinson]

The Argos are used by gamekeepers on remote Scottish estates estates in order to access wild and remote areas to feed the deer during harsh weather in their long winters ; theirs however are fitted with an enclosed cab in order to survive with room or the bags of feed in the back !

[@nigeljarawlinson]

The rear structure of the cab is effectively a roll bar for added safety and is often fitted with a series of rollers on the bonnet (hood),over the cab to enable the front winch to haul heavy items into the rear load bay, quite handy !

[@FreeCanadian76]

Argos are incredible. Make sure you get the canopy shelter/top at some point. WORTH every penny! We used one with search and rescue and it's amazing.They don't go fast, but they never stop GOING!!!!

[@geraldthompson2173]

Poor Oliver...shaken not stirred!!!

[@mezanian]

Just looked up these, you need the roll bars 😮 NOW, you think it won't roll until it does. Statistics of inquiries from quads, etc are extraordinary 😢

[@Argrouk]

Too much awesome!. I was half expecting the comments to be full of "life vests!" and other comments, but man I am so jealous and can't wait for this project, and more road building.

[@cliffmorgan31]

Y’all could have gotten a really big ticket. No life jackets and no fire extinguisher in the boat! Lol

[@AmbitionStrikes]

We had life jackets, a fire extinguisher and a paddle in the back. 😉

[@jamestiberiuskirk5994]

We as a family have an Argo, get the tracks then u can go anywhere. We use it in the sugar sand in ocala forest.

[@MFCSTUDIOS]

Argos 8x8’s are amazing vehicles…. But now you need the over the tire tracks for it makes it Evan more capable and “almost impossible” to get stuck

[@jimjackson9381]

Well you know what they say, Work hard and Play Harder You guys deserve a break, but I can’t wait to see the build and have you really gave it any thought about two videos a week❤ Love you guys you’re awesome. Jim

[@jeffwotherspoon3867]

they are a ton of fun we had a small boat motor attached to the back of ours for water crossings

[@BrokeWrench]

Any batteries on this thing can also double as a moble battery bank lol A couple 20hp motors would be sufficient, so hoping for more lmao. Brushless should give you the control youll want, and the lithium batteries the power without so much weight. Im super excited to see this project

[@Mr.Fedora007]

Love watching your vids from the UK. You’ve inspired us to go off grid totally!!! Just one thing. Ken Block (seriously good race driver … Gymkhana guy) had an unfortunate accident on snow. Please think about a roll cage on your 8 wheeler. Stay safe!!!

[@tylergilbertson4086]

Ice Cream was the best ending you could do to this video!

[@kymw7833]

Oh Courtney there could never be a dull minute in your life with that Husband of yours his smile and laugh is infectious you both brighten my day when I have breakfast with you here in Adelaide ,it's the best start to my day thank you Cheers Kym Adelaide

[@caroledavis-lh5to]

Your excitement is infectious. I am along for the ride, What fun.

[@chuxmix65]

Well that's a new way to parallel park to get some ice cream! Looks like it's in pretty great condition. I love the idea of making it electric! Not so thrilled about the bench seat with no belts, but I'm sure that's on your minds (Courtney) as well. Roll cage? Could provide some cargo options as well as safety. It will be interesting to see this contraption's internals.

[@paulslocomb6805]

New movie with Reckless Riley and co-starring Courageous Courtney !!

[@CubbyTech]

I'm excited about electrifying the Argo! I'm sure you have it all planned out - will be fun to see which components you choose!

[@Military-Museum-LP]

Get tracks on it for deep snow or you will be getting it stuck! They are worthless without tracks in deep snow. Also this doesn’t have the optional skid plates under it. You will destroy the plastic underbody fast if you don’t get those.

[@stevefreedom2469]

I wanted one of those since the 70's. I had one for my G.I. Joe's. Same color and all LOL

[@toddtraficanti4832]

Always impressed with you two. Don’t stop being silly, thanks for sharing.

[@Penster-Elle]

I love the pure, unbridled joy this gives you both.

[@BrittCHelmsSr]

Seeing that house @2:18 reminds of my new next door neighbor here in South Carolina that just built a 5000 square foot Barndominium. It is about 2/3 residential and 1/3 shop with four or five garage doors on it.

[@leightonhoward8545]

Let ask , anybody enjoying this couple as much as I do, I just want to c Riley's face, and Courtney just being there with him, just like two little kids having fun together 😂😂😂😂🇯🇲🇯🇲

[@nlillianne5317]

Wide track kit for winter is a must, then you will see it's snow traction capability.

[@jimhill5472]

Very cool! Add some tracks and it will really go anywhere. Guy in Alaska makes cool tracks out of conveyor belts to put on these. KZbinr OstaCruiser added Alaska tracks on his Argo. Lots of fun for sure. I have a CanAm Defender 6x6 Limited on order. Can't wait for it to arrive!

[@stewartwilkinsonsnr]

Catching up on your videos since the Van Wife’s recommend your channel. Now this video was a enormous laugh as soon as you got your hands on this vehicle I thought this is going to make me laugh for a while which it did. Laughter is the best medicine, I love your medicine xx

[@richardaragon1391]

Use your receiver hitch for a bracket to mount an outboard motor onto to move quicker through the water

[@richardaragon1391]

I'm at work and I don't think I have that app for that I'll look into getting

[@donneraxt1981]

That will be an hell of an cool project. Loved how you both were grining ear to ear made my day .i Hope you all doing well and enjoy your family life and the spring weather.

[@leonanderson4727]

One thing for sure, there are some good features to this Argo make. Although it could get hung up in snow banks, It maybe the only all terrain vehicle that will make it though mud without getting stuck. Moreover, being able to swim across water ways.

[@paurano]

Making an eight-wheel drive ATV electric? One thing is certain: Oliver will never have time to be bored! And neither do we 😁👍

[@VPWedding]

Interesting project! One important challenge: You’ll need to keep the weight the same so that it can still float, and won’t sink further into snow and mud. Electric vehicles can be heavy.

[@johnensminger7675]

Love the footage!! Sweet!😊

[@theburtseoni]

What a cool new toy! Are you sure you want to tear it down and do a new project? It looks like way too much fun the way it is!

[@robertelrose6239]

You two HAVE to be the Most Fun Family on KZbin..

[@Samtzu]

Okay.... I've watched you two for a couple of years and this is the best one yet.... the only way you can top this is to either build a electric airplane that can take of and land on your property, or launch your own satellite to beam your videos back to Earth.... we, the viewers, have MORE FUN THAN HUMANS ARE ALLOWED watching you guys having fun.... DON'T EVER STOP!!!

[@aaronpurchase5636]

Gotta love an Argo and it’s Canadian. They’re built an hour from my house. You can put a small outboard motor on the back and go even faster in the water.

[@lynnemac1402]

This was so much fun!! Courtney you laughed the whole time lol You two are a special couple - love it x

[@chrisoakey9841]

mount the spare horizontal low in the back with an electric mower. my patent turns your spare into a gyroscopic stabilizer. then put a nice aluminium tray on the back for your needs. i would also suggest a 100mm aluminium tube on each side of it with rams so when you go in the water you can extend outriggers for stability. they will also act as fenders in the bush. you might also want a roll bar.

[@markmacduff4630]

Wow a bunch of kids ❤️ pretty good. What are going to be like a baby

[@janetkoball44]

What a vehicle or 2! Remember, safety first. Thanks for an exciting time. I'm getting old so probably wouldn't even get on it but it does look fun. What about a car seat space? Guess you will build one. See ya.

[@MidwesternNomad]

This was really fun and promises to be an exciting series. I especially loved the scenes of the familiar Sandpoint beach and downtown for ice cream! One of our family favorites for over 50 years. Thank you for planning such interesting content while you are on Maternity/Paternity break. I Love it!❤

[@mardy2630]

You'll need a snow track for that thing come next winter. Hope it serves you well.

[@lenellamaxwell6934]

I can't help but to laugh. You two are so cute. I love your adventurous spirits. I know that you will have fun with the new build facing all the challenges with grit and determination. I can't wait to go on the journey with you. Thanks for sharing!

[@johnbrown3951]

What a great toy that is. I once got a trip in one of those on The Isle of Lewis off the North West of Scotland across a grouse moor to fish a remote loch driven by one of the gamekeepers. What a day that was. Pity we didn't take it into the loch and use it as a boat to fish from.
