I got one for Christmas and totally love it. Had it out in -25 F no probs. This past weekend went to a lake with 30 + ins. of ice went straight through no bogging or binding. There is alot of plastic but so far no probs and most it is covers. Almost bought the jiffy because of the reliabilty. Glad i didnt because of all the negative post this year with the 3 hp. The Z71 motor is a high reving chainsaw motor if you fish where theres alot of ice its well worth it.
