The fording depth of a M113A1 is 50,000'+ because they float....= )
Top speed is 2-3 mph, with 3" of free board, it's not something that you want to do for long periods of time since they weight 26,000 lbs + and they sink real fast....they can handle waves of up to 2" and it is FREAKY fording in the dark of night...thanks for the flashback!

PS, the 113 in the photo would sink, because it is missing it's track shrouds.

Shameless plug for the 61-71 Dodge Sweptline Forum
