At least one land drive and at least one separate marine drive (40) are provided.

The suspension assembly comprises suspension arms (24) outside the pair of wheels (20) so that the wheels (20) lie between the arms (24). Marine drives (40) may be inboard of the wheels (FIG. 2) or outboard thereof (FIG. 4). An axle (28) with a differential (29) may be provided (FIG. 3).
