Drifter that's a good omen for a diehard ice man such as yourself.   Looks to have come from Beaver Dam Wi.  Birthplace of the the worlds best tip-up...imho.  i have dozens of them and have been using them for 50 years.  Enjoy

That thing got a Hemi?!?!  ;D  sweet ride for sure. I wonder how the bottom material will hold up against the friction of ice vs water? Hope it's a blast for you!

                What a great score Dave, it should be a lot of fun and useful. You can always use the Navionics App to read where you are then
                set down on the water to read your depth finder. Won't propel when sitting in the water? :thumbsup:

I'm an hr away from BD lake and have spent a lot of time out there. I haven't heard of too may rescues out there, so it was probably lightly used.

You won't have to worry about gas holes, pressure cracks or bad ice with that.  You'll be ice fishing before the rest of your crew.

No need to license it up here.
Not like I'll be driving it around town.
  ;D
Range is about 120 miles or so per tank (9 gallons).
It uses 3 gallons per hour on average.
Throw a couple of Jerry cans in the back and you could go far and wide.  :)

Cool.  One question...does that thing float if you are on open water without the engine running?
