I did a little looking in to it when I got back to civilization. Apparently they were built in the late 50s for the Army and saw some action in Vietnam. The Army got rid of them a few years ago and one private charter company in Maine bought a couple to ferry big stuff to various islands. This one has apparently been used to supply the building materials for the huge house Chief Justice Roberts is building on an island near there.

Thanks. I was amazed by this thing. All four wheels are steerable. It's got dual props. It was clearly a working vessel that was well maintained.
