My New Ice Vehicle/House

[Mayfly]

I ran into one of these the other day...seems like a nice little ice vehicle/portable......

Anyone else see these??

Have seen it in action on Mille Lacs...  It had NO PROBLEMS getting up Rocky Reef's landing which you need 4x4 in a truck to get up.  Plus it was going through snow with no problem. 

They do float right?

I agree SS - I wouldn't pay $10k for it...  IMHO I would but a wheeler for half that amount and have more uses.

I saw them at the ice show last year. in my assesment they were the most worthless waste of money you could spend on outdoors gear.
I couldnt think of one reason they would have an advantage over anything else in a similar catagory. including atv's, argo's or a vehicle. they were low clearance, bulky, underpowered and even the salesman couldnt tell me why I should buy one.

I like entrepreneurs. I love the fact that especially here in america, if you have a vision, you have every right to follow that vision. it just seemed so blatantly obvious to me that this was dead on the water right out of the  gate, that I almost felt sorry for the guy.

it was cool, don't get me wrong, but if I was going to spend 10k on something, it would be something with a practical purpose, like a ranger, or a tracked argo, or a mud buddy boat and motor, or...well I think you get my drift.

The guy that invented them was at the game fair this year.  He had a video of them on the ice and going through some ice and climbing back out, they are kinda cool, but out of my price range....... :o

Next to hovercraft and airboats, search & rescue units might be interested?!

*Hey!-It's just a thought!

I think they are pretty cool. You should sit in one with the top up.....your whole perspective will change.

I imagine they will have a booth at the Ice Show.

I have a pull-behind  ice castle fish house but I was thinking more about mobility.  I know 4-wheelers aren't the best answer for slushy conditions.  You can pull a portable behind a snowmobile but it still takes time to set up.  I asked for details about the price and other features simply to see if it was something that might be an option.
