Awe... that is the Baby Size LARC :-) I think it is the LARC XX or
something. From an earlier post about this bad boy:
It is... 60 feet long, 26 feet wide, will haul 120,000 pounds of cargo,
are powered by four diesel
engines, will do 15 mph on land (7.5 in water)
There was one of these for sale in Gloucester, Mass a little while ago.
Price tag was in the six figures. I think the gross weight was 350,000
lbs. Now, tryin going down to your DMV and getting that puppy registered :-)
There is at least one other LARC that I have seen specs on. It is
inbetween the LARC-5 and the big monster listed above.
Anybody looking to visibly displace water in small ponds and lakes should
go for the big one, even though there isn't likely to be a boatramp big
enough to launch it :-)
