Completely off topic here, might make a new thread but I fish mostly on water in northern MN with 15-16ft clarity and it’s insanely clear for spearhouse fishing. Ideal conditions in my opinion.
Water down around the cities in MN is murky, and some farm land waters are 5-6ft clarity. Would I even be able to see anything around 10-15ft in that crappy of waters in a spearhouse?
@Munchy- Thanks for the info, didn’t think the wood would transmit that much heat. I’ll try some styrofoam on the bottom and see how that goes, it’s pretty cheap.
Just so you know, unless you seal the heck out of that wood it is going to soaked through and one heavy beast at the end of the day.
That’s what I was wondering. Is the ice really going to melt that much underneath? The only ice that really ever melts right now is the ice in front of my Mr Buddy heater. I could always lay some vinyl underneath and staple it to the bottom of the wood.
Honestly thinking I might just do this for a spearhouse set up. To constantly lug the boards around for regular ice fishing would be tiresome. Might just pick up some of those cleats 
The red lines are where I’d make cuts. Ideally I’d like to have 6 pieces, so I’m not lugging around 6′ wide boards.
