    Last week while fishing on Misery Bay I saw one of those new Wellcraft ice shanty's. He was running all around. When I left I noticed on his truck license that he was from Ohio. I didn't know you could use a motorized vehicle in the Park.

    lol...

    I just started a whole 'nother thread about this....sorry, didn't even see this one.

    Anyway....I say sweeeeet!

    As to using a motorized vehicle in the park....it floats, so if it's registered as a boat....does it matter if it has wheels? At only 8hp. you surely wouldn't be restricted by power...sooo??
