Doubt it was made to float anymore than a Humvee with a snorkel. Probably has a water height limit. Be THE coolest thing at an ALL PONTIAC event? I would pay 50 bucks just to see it go down the strip, at any speed!

You wouldn't think one of these will float, but they swim in deep water no problem....I'd bet the Otter does as well.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
