I know these SeaCrafts are built tough, but not quite to icebreaker standards

If you need to break ice, just slam the bag of ice down on the dock. That'll give you all the broken ice you need.

Seriously, I lived for a while in OC, MD, and I remember fishing for mako and white marlin in March, and watching the ice build up on the outriggers and tuna-tower on our Rybovich. I was freezing and wearing at least 5 layers of clothing. As I was on the 28* flybridge running the boat, I couldn't retreat to the 65* warm salon where the clients were warming themselves further with brandy. We boated and tagged one white marlin in 6 hours, and released two very small thresher sharks. It was a long cold day.

Jesus liked fishing, too. He even walked on water to get to the boat!
