I would stay away from the Prowler. Either head towards Yamaha's Rhino or Polaris Ranger Line of UTVs. Woodsy brings up good points. You might as well head out on the ice with a Toyota Pickup 4x4, these are heavy and if you encounter Pressure Ridges, or open water at the edge, you are essentially stopped in your tracks. Also with the wheels on the low bellypan clearance can be an issue in deep snow. The track kits are great and will go over or thru most things. However you are adding another $3000 plus to the cost. Snowmobile or hovercraft. Those are you best bets if you need to have dependable transportation to the island in the winter.
