The season is late summer and early fall so there are still bits of pack ice a 1 to 2 feet thick though the open water prevails. But by September there is new ice forming. So I am imagining very basic mods not to make i

I guess I was wondering how feasible it would be to make some removals/mods to the conning tower and generally top surfaces of the boat. to make it a little more sustainable when surfacing through new ice say a foot thick.

I am curious about what the ice capability would be for a type 1X boat with respect to icing and maintaining temperatures inside the boat, surfacing through a foot or two of ice (impacts on co
