Hey Donn, awesome build, well done. I've got a fair bit of experience driving amphibious tracked vehicles in the army, and they all have one thing in common, tracks are very bad for water propulsion. I would suggest you maybe add a small battery outboard engine on the back, it will give you way better propulsion than the tracks ever will.
