Just looking at the ice boat I would think that if it did break through the ice, OK maybe it would float. But how would you get it out of the hole in the ice? I would think the skates would get hung up on the edge of the ice and make it impossible to get out. So you would end up floating in a hole in the ice surrounded by unsafe ice. This is sensible?
It seems to me that others have mentioned how they use a flat bottomed boat and push themselves along. If the ice breaks the boat can be maneuvered back on top of the ice because there is nothing on the boat bottom to get hung up.
I'll take the hovercraft, thank you very much.
