Likely filmed at different times and pieced together. And if you buy a new boat and get rid of the old one, I thing the numbers transfer to the new boat.

Same boat, No alteration
In the first picture, what appears to be a 'cut out' is the black rope in the bow eye. Looking closely you can see the rope going up along side the bow.

Charlie Ah . . . mystery solved. Need to get my eyes checked. Though now I'm disappointed. Was really hoping that was an ice cutter on the bow. I run riveted Alumacraft V-bows and am fairly careful about cutting ice. Haven't seen any damage. Chukar's post was interesting. Bet the fella who rigged that up had some interesting stories about late season duck hunts.

. . . but a single row of saw teeth on the front of a boat wouldn't amount to squat as far as cutting ice. If anything, in thicker ice it'd stop the boat and hold you up.
Give or take how thick was the ice he's busting through? Interesting. From my limited experience, I switch from the jon boat to the V-bow for busting ice. And I take it slow. Perhaps instead of teeth on the leading edge of a bow plate, one had a "sword-like" structure that would more fracture ice.
