On glare ice prepare to get beat up badly. With a bit of snow cover it was a dream. 105mph on gps with throttle left... It felt extremely safe and predictable, and the transitioning from ice to water and back was unreal.

That is one really nice looking boat. Just curious though, don't you worry about pressure ridges when out on the ice. I would imagine one would do some serious damage.
105 was that on the ice or water, I had a 25 Baja and at 70 that was extremely fast, I can only imagine what it feels like in a much lower to the water boat like this one.
Very cool looking boat.
