New Remote Access Dive Vehicle
I just got a new R.A.D.V. last night. Its a Can Am XT side by side sport utility vehicle. I was torn between getting the Polaris Ranger that had 1,000 pound capacity in the box or the sportier Polaris RZR that had 300 pound capacity in a much smaller box. The Ranger seemed to lack power even with the 800 cc engine, but the RZR was lighter and with the same size engine, it is more for fun than utility. I went a completely different direction and went with the Can Am XT 1,000 cc. It has 600 pound capacity in the box with more room in the cab. Its a little on the heavy side at just under 1,300 pounds, but its still does about 78 MPH. It might be a bit too wide at 58" to be as nimble as the typical 4 wheeler, but compromise and sacrifice was necessary to get the payload and the performance. I think it will haul a couple divers and their gear no problem in the box, and more gear towing a trailer behind it. Its a little bigger than a mini cooper
