Took the ice motor out on the river for a couple loads of wood this weekend.

That's a neat boat. I've never seen one of those motors.

Thats a first for me. Really cool. It is common or something you came up with?

It’s homemade but there used to be a company that made them. I think they were in WI. They call them ice scratchers.

Quite a few of them up here. I think the company was in Stoddard, WI. My son has one that is on his 14 ft. flat. He built a frame for the boat with runners so he can take the scratcher and frame off. Goes really nice!

Moosetrot

The boat sits on a sleigh with runners to keep from banging it up. It can haul crazy amount of weight.

Very Cool

Much cooler than your lesbian vehicle you drive on land.

Lmao! I don’t have the Subaru any more, but I might have to get another, just for you!

I see your "Gator poker" is stuck in one of the blocks on the left side of the load
river wood is always good for a chain sharping afterwards

Awsum idea . Very talented making it yourself. Thanks for posting. I love it.

That just might work on these rock beds they call rivers in Georgia. LOL

I have a buddy who did the frame and machined the hub into the wheel. I put the motor, clutch, pillow blocks and bearings in. I couldn’t have done it without him. Motor goes back on mud motor when the water softens up. Lol

... wild set up right there lol .. is that a froze over lake or river?

River I live on. I put it up on pvc pipes over night so it doesn’t freeze to the ice.

Ok lol

There used to be an old boy that had one similar in Gettysburg SD. Used it got ice fishing when ice conditions were bad. It was pretty cool!!!!

When you last posted a photo of that rig, I thought you were making a joke.
Heck, I want to see a video of that cool ice boat thing running!
How is it if there is now? Does it “cut” right through?
