Too early for me to commit. I still might be unpacking or unwinding from the Arlington Airshow, depending how many vehicles we take up there. I'm trying to take HEMTT, Scorpion CVR(T), Fox CVR(W) and possibly unfinished V100 Commando.
It does sound like a LOT of fun though.
Dave, you are correct. The turret was removed for height alone and yes, I think the Stalwart would swim with the Ferret inside but slightly stern low. Perhaps if the Ferret was backed in it would be better.
You see that pile of 2x12's in the picture? The wood, a saw, a nail gun and the beer...
The best looks come from when they see this odd looking thing motoring around in the lake that is perhaps 3 feet tall grow to more than 8' tall as it drives up on the beach next to a boat. They also haul stuff quite well, my wife's Ferret arrived from England in the back of my first Stolly.
They are difficult to work on because of their design, some of the power train is accessed from inside the cramped hull and some from the outside. If you don't mind stripping out the radiators, fuel and oil tanks, and the complete engine/trans. assy. there is plenty of room to work in the hull...
Dude, do you have any concept what you're asking? Think of a 5 ton truck with 48" tall tires, make it 8.5' wide and 8.5' tall and they weigh 20,000 lbs EMPTY! Where shall I put it, in my back pocket? IF I had a crane to load it onto the HEMTT, it would be overheight and a mighty tippy load.
Not unless the sides are back from paint, I bought it as a flatbed and until they are done it is still a flatbed with the platform almost 6' in the air. ;)
