Sealegs coming to BC Show
Apr 25, 2019
While there are various amphibious boats on the water today, none have measured up to SEALEGS Amphibious Watercraft in terms of construction, performance, and reliability.
Each model seamlessly interfaces between water and land so users can drive right into the water and retract the wheels without even stopping – whether it’s off a sandy beach or rustic shore. Boaters can launch and land the boat by themselves, and access various confined areas where other boats can’t, which makes them ideal for emergency rescue and fire applications due to their versatility. No need for a dock, either.
Models are available in six designs ranging from 6.1 to 9.0 m (20 – 30 ft), based on aluminum RIB hulls, and incorporate a set of three, low pressure (eco-friendly) 25-inch all-terrain tires – one at the bow and two at the stern – that electronically raise via hydraulic legs when on the water, then can be lowered when approaching shore. Once on land, however, SEALEGS manoeuvres effortlessly up to speeds of 10 km/h (6.2 mph) thanks to its all-wheel drive system that’s powered by an independent 24 hp Honda hydraulic motor, rigged beneath the operator’s seat. For the larger models, a 35 hp Briggs and Stratton is used and situated under the centre console.
The BC Boat Show in Port Sidney Marina from May 2 through to May 5 will have several of the SEALEGS amphibious boats on display.
