Ice boats for fishing next year

[salmoncandy]

I have started building my ice boat for next year. I was wondering if there was anyone out there that would be willing to give it a try and build one as well. It would be a beauty way to zip across the lake to check set lines or pass the time when the fishing dies down. I think it might be classified as any man in a boat on a lake by himself can fish two rods.
Here is the finished boat. I have the finished pics and specs if anyone wants to try. Here is a quick video of the boat in action.

Hope to see some of you on the ice with me next year.

Those look like they would be to much fun, wouldn't get much fishin in if I had that toy.  If your looking for a sail I order a new flag for my store every six months you could have the old one, would make for a pretty cool sail (canada flag)  There 10'x20' don;t know if that would be big enough.

I have done tonnes of research, if you have any pressing questions. Im sure i can help out. It would be fun to have some one to race around with.
