Any clue on the price?

It looks like a modern version of the Bombardier C-18 Snow Bus. I know there are many still in use as transport vehicles on flat frozen ground and lakes. Asking prices are pretty steep on operating C-18 units and know of one for sale at $18,500.

Here is an iimage from the Bombardier history website:

Very cool website for those who enjoy history: http://www.fjab.qc.ca/en/content/jab/biographie1946_1948.htm

The website shows 2 different configurations.

One configuration is a driveable ice fishing shack with what appears to be 2 fishing seats and 4 ice fishing stations. The unit raises 14 inches on hydraulic lifters for travel and then lowers 14" when you park it for ice fishing.

The other configuration shows 4 passenger seats for travel and no ice fishing holes in the bottom of the unit. The 4 passenger version also has a central table. This version appears to seat a total of 5 with the driver.

Both configurations show a drivers seat that is positioned in the front center. It has a 3 cylinder engine and automatic transmission in both models. Both versions have what appear to be fold down bench seats on each side wall, but as they fold up it appears they are not used during travel?

Pixie, I saw them at Fryburg. the salesman told me $34,000. To rich for me just to go fishing, but it does float.
