For Fun: $25K to spend

[MikeH55343]

Ok. Here is the scenario: you are awarded $25,000. I know most of the members of this site would gift it to charity, donate it to the gov to help pay down the deficient, etc - but the rules are "you must spend it on the perfect ice fishing vehicle". Let's hear what you would buy:

[TruthWalleyes]

Atv with tracks and a wilcraft.

[BigDogRob]

Truth, how about a WillCraft fitted wit tracks?

[highlife4me]

A used snobear. Or a new one with some of my own money thrown in too.

[CrewJones]

2004 mustang cobra

[MikeH55343]

2004 mustang cobra

With tracks? and an auger mount on the hood?

[CrewJones]

Ill walk out on the lake

I saw a guy towing a ski boat with a newer corvette. laid down a ton of smoke pulling out of the launch and then caught the tongue at the top because there was about 4 inches worth of clearance.

You should be good with a plow mount and chains.

[knoppers]

LX-12

[hugonian1]

FL- 32 for me.

Have no clue what the weight is on a snow bear.... one for sale right now used for a little over 25.....that would be my first choice.....

but if heavy ....rig up the most lightweight 4 wheel drive vehicle with tracks and some sort of nebulus flotation deployment system....maybe even some sort of all wheel drive mini van, with tracks, flotation, and pop some holes in the floor

yeah dude. you gotta go custom. I'd rig up a conversion van with monster truck tires and drop down hydraulics. purple velvet interior.

[toughguy]

I'd buy a pair of new snowmobiles.

$25,000 is about what they'll cost

[McGurk]

This was up on an online auction sale in Michigan. 17K for a 2002 Subaru WRX with tracks. Spend the rest on a roof rack and trailer hitch, and a trailer for your gear.

[TheCrappieFlop]

suzuki samurai with tracks and snow plow

[goose89]

1/2 of one of these...

[OnAFly]

1 newer snowmobile, 1 newer ATV, 1 aluminum trailer.

[Getanet]

I'm torn. It would either have to be a Wilcraft, or a new ATV and Canvas Craft NorthlanderATT, which looks sweet: http://canvascraftinc.com/sites/all/themes/canvas/images/northlander/att/att.pdf

Either way, with the leftover money I would hire a car service so I had a sober-cab for the drive home - because I would certainly be feeling festive with any of these new toys.

I saw a suzuki samurai with rear tracks and skis in the front at the mille lacs perch extravaganza a few weeks ago.

[Jcup]

[fishersofmen]

I'd buy a pair of new snowmobiles.

Sounds like a good plan to me.

[tencountff]

[Vitreus]

Easy:

A wrx wagon with that setup would be pretty tight, then yo.u wouldn't need a trailer.

A new sled or ranger would be nice.

I wouldnt spend a dime of it a permanent that's 4 sure!
