How about an amphibious, wheeled canoe? I mean it could be like the one James Bond had in Moonraker. Well, it was actually a Venetian Gondola but the same idea applies.

North America - good old fashion pick up truck and the brand depends on how manypoeple and gear I need to carry. 2-3 peeps - pre-82 toyota. 4+ or all big boys pre fuel injected American 3/4 ton.

Good points. So . . . I think I'm going with a late 60's or early 70's Baja Bug conversion with a canoe (or maybe a kayak) in a roof rack.
