I've seen this company trying to mass-produce amphibious vehicles lately, that I think would be useful in the Sixth World:

Gibbs Sports Quadski: Quadbike/jetski combo. I can imagine these being used for recreational uses, and by pirates, smugglers, runners, scouts and by marines taking a coastal approach.

Gibbs Amphitrucks: There's the Humdinga (Weird name, I know) that's like an amphibious pick-up, and the Phibia (Makes slightly more sense) which is the equivalent of a van, with all the implied utility.

How would you use them?

... they use a lot of those old DUKWs, or new construction based ont eh same overall design, as Tour vehicles in Boston .... and in Boston Harbor. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) "Duck Tours", they call 'em.
