A snow machine probably weighs 400-500 lbs with zero buoyancy except for an empty gasoline tank and that could fill with water.
The suggestion for a 250' line with a marker buoy seems like a winner, just make it a strong line.
Number of ice fishing camps set up out on the ice between south Bear Island, Mark Isl, Timber Isl, Governor's Isl, and Meredith Neck for the 2020 ice fishing derby ......... zero, not even one tent camp.
In past years ........ maybe ten tent camps out on the ice in the same area.
