I have a hunting spot that has settled this debate for years now. Over a hundred river crossings! and (lots of floating).. Never seen a Yamaha or a Polaris make it Yet! Seen them make it part of the way!!! Belts just don't hold up with prolonged water crossings. I watched a brand new Polaris not make it across it's "very first" water crossing without the belt slipping (dead in the Water). It had 3 miles on it!!

Hondas and "old school" 89'-02' King Quads will go ANYWHERE!!!
