It seems as though the car (or is it a boat), planes reasonably well. However, in rough water it is clear that it could sink if waves come over the gunnels (or is that doors). I don't think that conversion vehicles do a particularly good job for either purpose. Companies seem to be fascinated with cars that float or fly. Maybe too much James Bond.

Realistically, an island owner could really benefit from one of these. You could "boat" to any boat ramp and drive the rest of the way without worrying about docking. I could finally go from the island to Sawyers! But, not with a gang of people.
