If you strip the carrier down to it's center roadwheels only, and pull off everything that can be pulled off, it can be floated reasonably well. There was a method of using oil drums strapped to the sides. I believe each drum is good for something like 600 to 800 pounds. You can also wrap the hull in a tarp so it will float even a bit better.
A quad will pull a stripped carrier hull with just the center bogies on it. I would love to go for a project like this. It's been a few years since I have helped dig carriers out of marsh banks, or from across 10 miles of water.

Backtrack
Hi Gordon - at this stage, instead of questioning how to retrieve it, I would be questioning how and why it got there in the first place. Possibly an old local may know. But then you have probably been down this avenue.

Best one I helped with (other than mine) was north of Toronto, Brass plate on the front mudguard, paper air filter, and an archeological dig in the botton gave up a top for the AA mount. Pi##ed of the neighbour ladies dog though........
