I want one!!!!!!!
As for getting out thru the State Marina....
I just got back from Bear Lake an hour ago. I was the first boat to launch out of the State park marina this year. Scott T drove his truck down the ramp and broke the ice up into smaller sheets and I spent the next couple hours in waders shifting them thru the small channel. I then dropped my little tin can in with only the electric on it. I drove the bow up onto the sheets and drove the ice chunks out of the marina or off to the North edge in between the slips to melt. My boat is only a 14 foot aluminum but by next weekend the big dogs should be able to launch with ease. There is only one lane open right now but with the warmer temps it will not be long till all are open. The bubblers are really melting the ice down quick. Water is a good 5 feet in the channel as well.
I did get to fish for a bit and got a nice native cutt to the boat. Sorry no pic I was alone and did not have my camera.
