OK so this might not be the best time to bring this three letter word up, but I've been researching boat options. My question revolves around late season fishing. There have been times that I've had to drive my Lund through an iced up bay where we rented a cabin to get to open water. The aluminum hull did fine although I'd rather not have to do it. The paint on the lower unit got scuffed up on the motor and the stainless prop got a bit rougher around the edges.

A friend is scheduling a trip to N WI again this year and he wants to go even later. Do folks with fiberglass drive through ice too? From the thread tracking boat launches last fall, my thought is that many don't commit to a specific lake and fish where the launch isn't frozen over.
