I cant speak for otter but i own clam products (guide and scout) and they are very good quality. can you stand up in both of them? look at the user pros and cons like that.??

The Otter Sleds are VERY durable. But I have a Clam X2 and the sled seems like it's a better quality than some of the newer sleds from Clam. See if you can get a deal on last years X2, but I'm sure you can't go wrong with either brand. They're both MN companies. Otter is in Maple Lake, Clam is in Medina.

I have to laugh at the comments about the Otter and Clam X2 sleds. I will say that I agree that those two are the most durable on the market.

In 1 weekend our group had the bottom of an Otter sled crack the entire length of the sled, and an X2 sled got a 2 square foot chunk ripped out it where the hitch attaches. Also had a clam guide sled crack on the bottom, but was under much less harsh conditions and never saw the abuse the other two sleds took.

I love my clam Yukon. I have never had a problem with it and have recently done some mods to it, now it fits my every need while out on the ice. I fished in the otter lodge and like it a lot as well. The pros for Otters in my opinion would be (sqaure poles a little more ridged) (the windows have the option to be screened or fully open) I like that option for throwing fish out or just passing stuff out and in. And the biggest pro of the otter would be the seats!!! SO nice!!! The clam is a very nice unit and I got a great deal on it but I would shoot for an otter if the price will be close.

if your out of the elements and your warm your in a good shack, your basicly buying a sled and otter has the best sled, but the new frabill sleds are looking alot better so ya might wanna check them out.
