Drought / too early end to the season

You need to get another boat, an island style, utility boat. Something like a 14 or 16' aluminum vee hull/side steering wheel with a 25 or 40hp outboard. Weighs 500-800lbs, draws just 6" or so of water depth, and works great as an ice breaker with its aluminum hull and keel, easily slicing through the surprise thin 1" or less, ice formed overnight.

And, you will be good to go from ice-out to January 5!

Is a wee bit small for the broads on a big wave day, sort of like a surf board, out there.
