Sherp Adventure in the City! Amphibious ATV is Unstoppable?

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.

We want to put Sherp tires on something silly! What should we put them on?

[@noahbertils2076]

on a car

[@richsipe]

obviously your newly completed Offroad Tesla!

[@mtreis86]

Something with only two wheels, build a sherp-bike of some sort. It would be unstoppable as long as you don't tip over.

[@jacksonburchard242]

Definitely some sort of buggy/sxs

I like the title "ATV is unstoppable". Proceeds to be broken for most of the video. haha But Sherps are so damn awesome. Would love to drive one, some day.

[@GrindHardPlumbingCo]

Yeah have to keep that water cap tight! Switch the! To a ?

[@TheNamesArif]

seems like the only thing that stop them is themselve

[@themadscientest]

It was fixed with simple tools while in the field, that is how something qualifies as "unstoppable".

[@andymanaus1077]

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.

[@kachoww5981]

Lmao wym give up? It’s better to try to solve the problem instead of planning on how Tf ur gonna get a big ass jeep thing out of the water and onto a trailer. Imo the only way I’m getting that thing back to where we took it off from was driving it. It’s pretty easy to diagnose what’s going on, it was clearly firing..

[@electrake2063]

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’d like to add this about the third time I see this rig in water….. the other time you broke though ice! An idea have you considered putting an outboard on the rear! That with a drop down rudders will certainly simplify a few issues in water!

[@corporalclegg914]

yes! I think you Grind Hard Boys would really enjoy meeting Samcrac. he’s Rich’s Stepbrother in Florida & those two can really chop it up together. as entertaining as they are, I learn something or get inspiration from GHPC, Rich Rebuilds & Samcrac’s uploads & projects. I was glad to see the Sherp’s Crew was able to get her back underway & motor sail back to friendly shores. topically applied medicated ointment should do the trick for any waterborne bacteria-caused rashes on your N. Idaho selves.

In florida it would need a boat registration. That Diesel kid that destroys everything did something similar and that was his only issue by law

[@Goldskis]

It has a boat registration, it's on the window.

[@EdTheMole]

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.

[@Smokey_A]

The fuel is stored in the four wheels on a Sherp. Rich has a vid I think going through some of the mechanicals in his usual humorous way. But the wheel storage is apparently why the water ingress happened in this case.

[@EdTheMole]

@@Smokey_A I don't know about that because I have never had a chance to work with one but they said in the video that they had a 20 gallon fuel tank but I could be wrong or perhaps this one has been modified.

[@Smokey_A]

@@EdTheMole It has four tanks in the wheels. I think it also has a central tank looking at Rich's video showing the repair. But you can also hear him mention the wheel tanks here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZraap2hpMmsb6c and it's on the Sherp website.

[@Cachapeluo]

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.

"The Argo absolutely unstoppable".

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.
