    Steven,

    You might as well go snow skiing and take on all the powder in the mountains.

        lol, I get lucky. Here in northern Michigan, there are 2 large inland lakes. Lake Cadillac and Mitchell. There is a canal between the 2. The lakes are frozen for about4 months out of the year but the canal never ices over. It's the strangest thing ever, there is no current to speak of either. Just gotta be sure to bring the rescue boat!!

              What you guys see as a problem, I see as a potential opportunity. RC Icebreakers?

                I think I may opt for a "chopper" prop as well... preferably in stainless... unthinned... :D

                    Did you hand launch your boat? Got some good distance there. But looked like it iced over before the boat hit the water.

                      I think you need a smaller prop as it seems to have a bit to much torque.
