Pontoons would make them very hard to move and they do move them, most several times a season.
Bendee, they are putting their cars, trucks and 4 wheelers throught the ice driving out to their "huts". And you should see some of those "huts". Custom built ones can go as high as 30K, be equiped with recliners, beds, a bar, TV's and sat dish systems and chemical potties big enough for 6-8 people to fish in. Most of the time you don't hear about the ice houses going through but this year there have been a lot of them go through too. We have had people go through on foot which is unheard of here.
One of the problems we face here is a lot of our seasonal workers haven't been wise with their money and suplement their food heavely with fish while on unemployment. When we have a late freeze or warmer weather they still need to be out there putting food on the table or they can't keep up with the house, truck, 4 wheeler, snowmobile and other payments. Most of these guys can't find a winter job that will pay what they make on unemployment because there just isn't work here in the winter. So a lot spend a lot of time cutting firewood until the lakes freeze and then spend the winter on the ice.
I don't ice fish so I'm not out there but on some winters some of the lakes out here look like there are samll towns on the ice.
