Default Northern Boaters never give up

Happy New Year, guys!

We chose to visit our island cottage on the St. Lawrence River on Dec. 29-30. It started as just a chilly overnighter and open water on The River. Weather was forcasted as a low of 29 and cloudy skies and a high of 37. Close enough...

By 9PM it was 8 degrees. The 3 AM check of the boat found an inch of snow and The River frozen over the mile back to the launch ramp. We left at 8am and broke about a mile of 3/4" ice with the Triumph's polypropylene hull. I highly recommend the Yamaha 150 4 stroke for flawless cold water performance.
