Product for waterfowlers.
By Guillermo Gastelo
Waterfowlers are always trying to get where the ducks are going to be, which means getting to hard-to-get-to spots. The HOOT is a 6-Wheel-Drive, amphibious ETV that can get to places a lot of other modes of transportation cannot. Developed and manufactured by Knox Outdoor Products, the HOOT is easy to steer, can handle steep inclines, is easily maneuverable and provides a smooth ride because of a shock-absorbing seat. Full length fenders keeps the driver dry and clean; a compact size (49 inches wide) allows the HOOT to fit between the wheel wells of a full-size pickup truck, and traverse narrow trails. Balloon tires provide a soft ride, suitable floatation and great propellant through water because of a webbed design. The HOOT's underbody maintains a 71?2-inch clearance and is completely flat so it doesn't get hung-up on underwater debris. Comes with a 4-stroke Kohler engine and a 5-gallon gas tank.
