Hi, Last January I was breaking 5/8" thick ice on our pond, good fun but the damage it caused means that I will not be doing it again. All the blades on the prop were loosened, tail end shaft bearing shot, rudder bearing
shot as well. The hull scored so it needs a paint job & this was an ice-breaking tug built for the job.
