Traveston Swamp fishing machine
IT looks like a cross between a tinny and a tank – it's an all-terrain amphibious vehicle which its maker claims will take the stress out of weekend fishing trips. On land, the 5.6m Sealegs craft dawdles along at 10km/h but in the water it can reach speeds of 30 to 35 knots (55 to 65km/h).
While the boat is not designed for driving on Queensland roads, the craft can be towed by trailer to the shoreline, where it can be driven into water regardless of boat ramp access.
The boat moves on five wheels, two hydraulic-powered wheels at the rear and three steerable tyres in the front that retract once the craft is in the water. Its all-terrain ability means it is well suited to rescue and patrol purposes which need quick and easy access to land and water environments.
The New Zealand-made Sealegs vehicle can carry a 500kg load of five to six adults, but is designed to have an extremely low ground pressure to leave minimal impact on surfaces such as mud flats or sand. -
