The I S S aluminum airboat, I S S is the name on the transom, that looks like either a very large jonboat or a small barge, powered by a large fan propeller in the back, was launched into the water yesterday and was used to go from Shep Brown's(?) to the north side of Mark Island, and return trip, and that boat can either go on top of the ice or it rumbles loudly though the ice like an ice breaker depending on the ice strength.
