Sealegs coming to BC Show

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.

By Andy Adams

If you’ve already had firsthand experience with a pontoon, you will easily understand the appeal of the Bennington 22 MSB. But if you haven’t, let’s start by reviewing a few of the reasons why pontoon boats have become top sellers in markets across North America.

Pontoon boats began in the early 1950s as basically four steel drums lashed to a frame. They were not unlike the log rafts of ancient cultures and not much more sophisticated at first.

The Best of Two Worlds

By Mathew Channer

Interior British Columbia might not be as famous for recreational boating as Canada’s Great Lakes, yet it is no less a world-class boat­ing destination. The mountains offer their own flavour of marine adventure with their series of long, deep ribbon lakes, and there is perhaps no area that embodies this more uniquely than the iconic Okanagan basin in southern B.C. One could be forgiven for assuming this valley was purpose-built for nautical fun, with a few delightful perks thrown in to make the area entirely irresistible (wine-tasting, anyone?).
