Was that finished by Ice Castle? Looks very similar to the finishing Fish N Style does...at any rate I like that Ice Castle. Nice home premium windows, and what looks to be quality finishing. Good buy!

EDIT: Now i'm wondering if my Yetti dealer isn't sending those units off to Ice Castle to be finished? I mean, they have all the same dinettes, couches, and light housings as the lake of the woods models. Does not sit well with me....

Yeah - finished by Ice Castle, but I ordered it the way I wanted it and made sure everything looked good before I signed off on it. Opted for 9 holes instead of the standard 6, made sure it had the jack knife couch instead of the mini dinette there. Went with the cedar t & g, bay window. Even requested an extra jack plug in on the back wall that runs up to the tv jack above the stove so I can run my camera from there to the tv.

The only regret I have is not requesting more outlets. It has 3 in there now - would have liked a few more.

I did see some castles during my search that I would never touch due to the poor craftsmanship inside, but I am very happy with how mine turned out.

Picked up a older 8x12 skid last year......a little over a grand, so the boss could not complain..... while it is small, i have some nice comforts of home: stove, cupboard/storage, empire flame thrower, bed/dinette combo, full sized windows, plenty of outlets and lighting.....it still does not have enough comforts for her to come and it is often just me and the mutt. Thought about updating, making a few mods, possibly getting a bigger unit or expanding, but then she might come wink

Clueless---

Don't have any real specific interior pic. I do have the stove and heater pic and a couple random pics. Haven't got around to a remodel yet, but I still catch plenty of fish the way it is. With a BIG vented heater I'm sure to keep "mama" happy!

It has 10 holes, 4 burner stove, BIG furnace, 2 flipdown bunks, table, 12volt and 110 lights, insulated floor, and hole covers. This year I'm doing the sattelite dish and adding a little storage area. Oh yeah, and going fishing!

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
