Had mine since this time last year. Suits me just fine.

At an age when I no longer feel ten feet tall and bullet proof I find the safety aspect well worth the price, (which was less than the tandem quad I was eyeballing). So for me it is not too expensive for what it is. Difference from some other opinions I've read here [Michigan Forum] is I have used it so I actually know what it is and what it is not and am not just guessing. When I feel the slightest bit uneasy about the ice conditions it sucks all the fun out of fishing. This vehicle helped to make me feel more comfortable just knowing if things go sideways I won't have to be taking a bath , dredging my equipment off the lake floor or worse yet find myself fighting for my life.

To each his own, we all value different things as it should be.

And No I'm not on the payroll but I can't let this go without telling you Tom Roering and Dave Plant of Wilcraft certainly know how to treat their customers right. They have bent over backwards to see to it I was completely satified with their equipment which I can tell you is dang near impossible(just ask anyone who knows me), and I didn't even buy a brand new showroom model. There are a lot of businesses nowadays that could sure learn a lesson from them.
