Eskimo QF3i vs fatfish


hamms-scooter

Recommended Posts

I have both a Quickfish 3I which is 70"x70" on the bottom and a 949I Fatfish which is 94"x94" on the bottom. Both great popups. I use the 3I when I go alone, but the 949I works great also. I use the 949I when I want to stay overnight. I have slept in the 949I several nights and stayed nice and warm. The 949I also has 2 doors - the QF 3I has one door.

If you primarily fish alone -- check out the Eskimo Wideone Inferno flip.

Just a note that the quickfish are not a side zipper bag like the fatfish models. For that reason I would go with the fatfish.

I bought a 767i about a month ago and the bag is now the open end draw string, not the zippered duffle. Just FYI.

I picked the 767 due to size preference as well. The 949 IS nice but I don't need it that big so I thought I'd skip the extra weight and space consumption.

I just bought and used the qf3i. I love it way better than the 767 I had the zippers were always hard to open and them stupid flaps that go over the zippers are a pain. I do tip ups alot and liked the qf3i because i can stand and get in and out of the house. the 767 i felt like i was being born again coming out. the 767 is a little bigger but the insulated is awesome i cant compare apples to oranges because of the insulation but size wise i like the qf3i better i had a 949I it was nice but to big and bulky plus this one today -5 degrees outside my wife actually took her coat off she was warm also mine has 2 doors on it.

    • 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.
