The Wilcraft has been 10 years in the making. Roering, who was a flooring installer not an engineer, developed early prototypes in his garage, then two years ago, started making production models at his Maplewood company, Multifarious, Inc. His end product is a drivable ice-fishing house that puts less pressure per square inch on the ice than a person standing or walking does. The wheels retract to set the hull on the ice, and there are holes in the insulated floor to fish through, but those seal shut with storage buckets and rubber gaskets when not in use.

I imagine some people will end up stranded on thin ice with this and have to wait out the thaw. Plenty of time to study physics.
