Bruno's mod is a heat exchanger form a MPV rear seat heater from the junk yard. Fits nicely beneath my gas tank and duct to the front with dryer hose. Sorry for my previous spelling error. Survival suit not suite which is called a Mustang MAC survival suit (<a href="http://www.armyoutdoor.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=AO&Product_Code=MAC200&Category_Code=SURVIVAL_SUITS">http://www.armyoutdoor.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Stor<br>e_Code=AO&Product_Code=MAC200&Category_Code=SURVIVAL_SUITS</a> which is very comfortable to wear as compared to the rubber ducky suits that are impossible to wear

Whew! Kevin, I've been worried about you and that icy water, but knowing that you really do wear a suit makes me feel a lot better. I'm especially impressed by its 'flam resistant ... outer shell.' Flam is sooo messy!<br /><br />Do you wear that suit over the lake in warm weather?

When the water temperature gets above 50 I leave the suit at home. By then the air temp is pretty warm and the suit would start to be umcomfortable

Forgive this poor Florida boys ignorance, but just what exactly is an ice boom?

You southerners need to come up here to cool off ini 32 degree water. The ice boom is a series of floating cylinders that are connected to a heavy cable and strung from the Canada shoreline to the American side to keep the ice from breaking up and floating down the Niagara River. The main reason is to keep the ice from clogging up the water intakes for the Power authority down stream during the winter. The water intakes supply the turbines that provide lots of clean electricity. The added bonus for me is ice free water ( from Lake Erie to Niagara Falls) to land on all winter. I pretty much have the whole Niagara river to myself from November to May to play on without the hassle of boat wakes.
