That open water up ahead was looking real good! Am I crazy? That's a good question! It certainly was something that I do not plan to do again, slicing through all that ice like that. How thick was the ice? I have no clue, but it must have been pretty thin, like maybe 1/2" or something because the 16' V-hull aluminum boat w/ a 40-hp powered right through it all, not too much problem. That was the first time I ever did that so I didn't know what to expect, but definitely will not be doing that again anytime
soon. That was sick!

Sounds like the lake would skim over faster if Les wasn't out there slicing it all up!
