[Pine Island Guy]

OK a question for the winter Forum folks...

We're still on the island, but soon the ice will be locked up thicker than the Alumcraft ice-breaker can handle... in past years that has meant we start walking over when we go out, dragging a sled with supplies if needed... not a bad walk (20 minutes) and that was fine for the sporadic weekend... but now that we're planning on spending more time there (and we're getting older too)... our thoughts have turned to motorized winter transportation!

Looked at some of the hovercraft and fan-boat kinds of things, but seem pretty pricey option to just get back and forth...

Now looking at snowmobile, or 4-wheeler ATV, or 4-wheeler UTV... we don't have plans to do any trail riding, just staying on the lake (hopefully on top of the lake, not in the lake)...

Any thoughts, recommendations, pros/cons, etc welcomed!

Merry Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Festivus, etc to all -PIG
