..seriously though, can the original 688's really not surface through ice because of the planes? I'd think they still could.....

I've read that the 688's could not surface through the ice because the fairwater had been designed to be shorter than the previous class as part of increasing the max speed of the class. The fairwater planes were too large to turn 90 degrees vertical. The switch to bow planes on the 688i's resolved that issue.
