Hey Lenn, have you ever built an " icebreaker" that will work on your pond? I guess the ice may get too thick up your way.
That tug boat looks like it has fair bit of power...... 8)

GREAT STUFF !
Pitchy you need to get your boats remote controlled so you won't have to walk around the pond so much!

Good thing I don't live close to you, I would be there playing everyday!!

I am guessing that the water goes in the top at the front where it has a screw plugging it. That is cool. The propane burner and tank is a great idea. That looks like a lot of fun to put in the pond.

Thanks guys, John I have tried it in real thin ice but it can`t break it up but can push it around somewhat. :)

I agree. I really like the sound of that engine.
