quickflip III

[hamms-scooter]

Can you stand up in these houses? Does it have a bench or regular seats? What kind of seats do you prefer a bench or individual seats?

I'm 5'10 plenty of head room, partners 6'1 and still has room. Mine has the bench and I like it. Keep the rods stored under the bench and braces in the backrest. Add a piece of plywood under the seat and it's way better.

What are braces for?Are they just spreaders for the bars? My guide doesnt have them.... Is it mainly a 2 man house with your gear in there? Lookin for a little bigger house then my guide to fish 2 out of with more room.

[tsande00]

You'll have more than enough room for 2 guys. I've even fished 3 comfortably out of mine. And the hole reason I bought mine was because I could stand up in it. (I'm 5'11" and I believe the top of ceiling is 6' 6".

Plenty of room love the house, but it does weigh almost 100lbs empty.

[Esox_Magnum]

Yep they are heavy but I still like it. Braces are for wind theres 5, 2 for the front then 2 over the top then 1 down to the tub. If calm they aren't needed but I use them anyway to hang coats on and to put up my ceiling fan. I have fish 3 adults in mine with room left. Keep in mind this will not fit in most SUV,s you need a pickup or suburban. My Jimmy and Trailblazer it won't fit in.

I have the green model quickflip 3. I am 6'5 and can stand up just fine. The space and height are my favorite things about the house. There is plenty of room to fish two and have enough extra space to move around. The red model they cut the height down to around 6 feet so its not as roomy. My house fits in my tahoe with the seats down perfectly.

I am 5' 10" and this would be a castle compared to the fish trap guide! The guide is a little tight for 2 guys and you can not stand up. I always use my wheeler so the weight wouldnt be to big of a deal. I am on the hunt for one now! Find a possible trade?

Yeah i saw that no response yet.Would be cool to trade he wants a smaller house.Mine is newer we'll see.Hope to get an email back!

I have one with a bench seat and love it. Plenty of elbow room for two people and all the gear in the sled. I like the bench cause i can just slide across to get to my other hole if i'm fishing alone. The windows will probably end up cracking on you but its not a big deal because they can be replaced or just left for air circulation.

[tsande00]

Yep...I love mine. Last year I was able to haul it around in my suburban with the back seats folded down, but this year with a Suburban it works much better, plus I can still seat 1 person in the backseat, unlike the explorer.

If weight isn't an issue than I wouldn't hesitate. As mentioned, the bench is nice when by yourself since it is easy to slide back and forth, or lay down and take a snooze.

[hamms-scooter]

I am laid off and a trade is the only way into it so im not sure if it will happen for me. Have fingers crossed for an email back.

Is the canvas as good as the fish traps ice armor? Like how durable it is.How thick are the tubs?

[Nilsfisher]

I have the red style quick flip 3 and I'm 6'4" and I can't quite stand up all the way in it, probably a 1 inch difference. mine has the 3 individual seats, not the bench. I like having the individual seats. they are not like boat seats. i've fished 2 really comfortable in it, I think 3 will be ok but I'll find that out this weekend. the only thing that I don't like about it are the windows. they are pretty brittle in the cold. at least they velcro out. I contacted eskimo and they are sending me new ones free of charge. the canvas is pretty much the same as the ice armor. I had a clam before this and I like this material better. I pulled it about a mile and a half by hand just fine, it pulls really easy.

[Harv]

I highly recommend the quick flip III. I like mine a lot.

[hamms-scooter]

I was told by a rep from joes over the phone that the green ones were taller but that the material isnt as good as the new red ones.The red ones have a coating on the inside for more wind resistance. Ill take a look but the house sounds sweet. No bench but 2 seats. If its a 3 man why dont they come with 3?

[Esox_Magnum]

Mines the old green one, next shack will be the Fribil Predator unless Eskimo changes from Red.

Is the canvas good quality on yours? How long do you count on this one lasting? Total yrs? What do you have against the red? The preditors are nice .

[Esox_Magnum]

on the 4th season of above average use, guessing 2-3 more years easily. Have replaced 1 window but cheap fix, like $10. I added runners and thats about it. Guessing its been on the ice 150-200 days since I have had it. And no I don't like red.

[hamms-scooter]

I saw you can order the windows from their site thats nice and cheap.Do all windows velcro in or is the back one sewed in? Sounds like a durable house with that many days on the ice with no torn canvas.

[Esox_Magnum]

Mine are all velcro in windows.

[hamms-scooter]

That is the only way they should be.Gets cold out and they crack. Need easy replacement! Are the poles on the eskimo houses square or round?

[Esox_Magnum]

Round poles.
