Got a Texaco Tanker in about 63 or 64 for Christmas as well. Took it to Storry Lake outside Las Vegas New Mexico where we lived at the time to float it the first time.

By the way, that was the area they filmed the original Red Dawn movie.

I had one of those too.

Moved fairly well in the water, but on land, even with the wheels, not so much.

Got a faint recollection also that it was modeled after the SS Ohio.
