I've been looking into purchasing a permanent ice shack and came across a converted pickup camper that is mounted on a retractable wheel trailer. It looks real slick the way the wheels can retract right up into the sides of the camper but I'm concerned it may be a bit too top-heavy.
How do these things travel down the road? I would require to store it 2 hours from where I'd be fishing with it so it would have to be highway travel worthy.
Has anyone else had experiences with these type of fishhouse conversions and what are the plus/minus's to them? Another slight concern is the amount of fishing space. It looks like 1 or 2 people would be OK, but more than that might be too crowded??
We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha
motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor, wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will
want for this boat? Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke
Mariner motor) I will appreciate any help with these questions.
I went ahead and watched some of the MLF coverage. Wheeler didn’t make the cut but the bigger story was the Poche/Avera fallout.
Kinda funny listening to both sides of the story and putting together the scenario, reading between the lines.
