Location: nationwide | I can tell you that ice will take off decals, keel guards, transducers and speed sensors, as well as take out drain plugs (flip type). Pretty much every year I break ice with my esox magnum and at times I have run into chunks or frozen areas on plane and while it sounds like the boat is getting ripped apart from under me I have never seen any type of damage to the hull. I have run for a mile or more breaking ice where I had to drive the front part of the boat onto the ice to break it, again with no damage to the hull. Pretty amazing that fiberglass is that tough.
