    Greetings,
    Would like to know if anyone knows about construction of, or modification to an existing hull to build a small 14-16 foot ice breaker capable of 3-4" of ice? With an outboard motor.
    I have a remote piece of property that I would like to gain access to during the early part of the winter.
    Thanks in advance...
