I know for a fact an AR230 will run on plane in 6" of water for over 1/2 mile and will only get stuck if you come off plane, thanks TX DJ where ever you are,
That takes balls! You'd be stuck so bad if you had to slow down. I'd do maybe 100' at 6".

The guy who did it did get stuck...eventually. Epic (and tragic) story. Someone should dig that novel from "the board which shall not be named" up for some of our newer members. Of course, that happened before I joined so i'm just kinda being "that guy."
