Here is one at the Lake Casitas Rally about 2 years ago! It was fun watching it go from land to water. The problem is how do you make your teardrop float when towing!

"The problem is how do you make your teardrop float when towing!"

Been working on that

and inflatable pontoons, or possibly inflatable marine salvage bags show promise. This is more a hmmm that is an interesting idea. I actually looked for rentals that you could put a small RV on to cruse, nothing I could find.

There is usually an Amphicar at the Keels and Wheels Concours in Houston. I think it was in 2009 that this "WaterCar" made it's debut at Keels and Wheels...

They made an amphibious folding camping trailer for Amphicars.....

Or you take the top off your 1950s Eis Piccolo, fit a windscreen/splash-guard and outboard and you can race the Amphicar:

And if you want to mix up a Margarita, it can be fitted with this powered mixing stick (I think...):

They've modernized that blender a bit.

Nice I wonder if Alan Jackson has seen them? He's got 3-4 of them in his collection and most are completely redone. One of his Amphicars is in his video.

Wouldn't that amphibious folding trailer be wonderful to sleep in? Just rocking back and forth.

This is insane! Check out how fast this thing goes. Way too cool. I thought the girls were just about going to take their bikini tops off for a minute. :lol:
