My first ride in a WILCraft was on Pool 3 of the Mississippi River in Jan a few years back. As we were unloading the wilcraft, a home owner walked down to see what we were doing. He said "I've lived here since the '70's and no one crosses the river here. It freezes over night but by noon it's wide open". We did, out and back for a 4 hour tour of the winter time area that no one could have reached without a wilcraft or a helicopter! LOL!

Just what we need. Another noisy toy for a sport that should be quiet and peaceful. Why not equip it with a mud-motor as well.
