Is older Voyager same size as newer?

[BoxMN]

I got an older Voyager from buddy, and not sure if the current covers and hyfax will fit it?

It is blue and front says "TRAP Dave Gentz Voyager" but the front door rolls UP instead of opening to the side like newer ones. The seats are black. I want to get cover and hyfax, but not get wrong size. Thanks for info!

It is possible the tub is a little larger than the new ones. I have TRAP Dave Gentz Guide and I needed 54inch hyfax to cover the bottom and wrap the front and the hyfax currently listed on the clam site is only 48 inches. Guy on c-list making hyfax can make any size you need.

Was looking at them the other day in FF. I have an older one two. They sure looked the same size. Was sitting in the new ones looking around, and except for a setup differences they seemed to be the same size.

The house is the same size but the new TCX may have a diff, sled on it. But you can still order the old slids or find them at some of the smaller places around that sells them and may still have the slids and covers in stock. I got one of the last two sets of slids-hyfax Cabelas in Rogers had and noticed they were out last week when I went back in to look around. If they have them, you can see them from a mile away because the tube they come in sticks up about two feet higher then the rest in the bin. I bought a new cover for mine at a small bait shop in Annendale that carries them. The new TCX cover will fit but was about $15 more then what I paided for the New older style. Send out some requests to some of the smaller bait stores around and see if they still have any. Good luck.

The current Voyager TCX hyfax and cover will fit older Voyagers just fine. The base remains the same in both new Voyager TCX models and older Voyager models.

be careful. make sure that after you put them on, that your poles will still reach the ground.

I got the Voyager. In good shape for the top, but the tub has a hole in it - right where the seat support pole goes down to the floor of the tub. I see he added a floor brace to fix it, but the hole remains in the plastic.

Any ideas of how to cover it? It is on the raised (or bottom/lowest on the ground) rib, so a flat piece won't work. I am thinking some hyfax that I ground down a hollowed out area for the rib, then just attach it with bolts. Could be scrap piece of hyfax.

I found a guy selling 1/2" hyfax cut for Voyager, maybe he would give/sell me a scrap piece if I buy his kit. I will say this, the tub material is well below the quality of the Otter tubs, in thickness and toughness. But the shack will work out fine for me.

Thanks for the info!

It didn't dawn on me until I just read your post, why the other day when sitting in my Voy, that the front canvus didn't seem to go all the way down in the front. I just put on a Hyfax kit from Calm and it did lift it a bit. I guess I will have to wait until I get it out on the lake with some snow to see if it will be that big of deal?
