Which flip over portable to buy?

[TJB]

I have had the Otter in the past but was not crazy about the way the canvas wore against the brackets on the front of the sled. I do like the option that the Fish Trap has for joining 2 units together. Are there any other ones out there that can join multiple houses? I like the looks of the Fish Trap Yukon but I dive a Yukon Denali and not sure how much room the sled will take up in the back of my Yukon. I am sure I will have to put the 60 side of the seats down.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

If any of you have the Yukon, does your auger fit in the sled?

Thank you

I use an Otter for these reasons:

It's tougher than the other houses I've had...puts up with more punishment.

It's quick to set up, square poles are awesome.

It trailers better behind my sled well. doesn't fill with snow like other models...because the sled is so tough I don't worry about what it hits at 60 mph.

My 2 cents.

otter are nice for trailering but not if walk out to your spot, they weight a ton, are expensive. It all depends how you fish.

Has anyone tried to link a Voyager to a Yukon or a Guide to a Pro? Does it work?

What about same type trap link? Easy to do? Any other issue?

Any have a used one for sale or know where I can get a GOOD deal on one?

Thank you,

You can link different models together, but they don't fit quite right. It still works though.

I have yet to see a problem they are not eager to help fix or make good on.

Will I finally found a sale I could not pass up. Thank you for all your input.

I did end up purchasing the Clam Yukon at Gander MNT. for $349.00. $80 bucks of retail was too good to pass up.

I did put it together yesterday but I am unhappy with the instructions when it comes to putting the rubber strip on the sled/canvas. I thought I had it perfect and then went to put the spears in and they do not reach the bars to clamp in. They are about 3 inches short. [PoorWordUsage]!!!! I followed the directions and pulled the canvas until the porch bar was off the ground and then I watched until it hit the ground. I will call Customer Service today and see what they say. ANYONE ELSE HAVE A SIMULAR EXPERIENCE?

Thank you to all of you.

Isn't assembly fun!I assembled my Eskimo QF 3 earlier this year,and it was a lesson in patience!Learned to put it partially together and take it apart a couple different times!Good Luck!You'll love those folding seats!

I bought the voyager a couple weeks ago and I had the same frustrating time with that black strip.......it took me longer to do that one step than to do the rest of the steps including putting the seats together. I am sure they will help you get it figured out.......don't forget to use some silicone spray on the zippers, they will freeze up on you if it get cold out....or you can not use a lot of heat in your house and then you'll be fine.....

You will love it once you get past this part of installation, I use my voyager as a really huge one man or an extremely big two man. Keep your head up TJB, you have a new fish house

YEP!

Just got off the phone with Clam Corp and they are sending me 2 longer spear poles. The Customer Service lady was very nice and said that they did have a batch of houses that went out that require long spear poles. 51 1/2 which are the normal size are not long enough. Canvas is longer in my case. They are sending spear poles that measure 54 1/2.

Thanks for the heads up guys. I asked if there is a way to know before purchasing or assembling and she said NO.

I was wondering if you could tell me at what Gander did you find that yukon? I've checked a few in the north metro with no luck. 349.00 is a great deal. Also are you having anymore problems besides the one you already mentioned. Thanks

[picksbigwagon]

lakeville had about 6 of them on friday when I was gettng bait

[TJB]

I got mine at Maplewood but I know Forest Lake had several also.

No other problems and the poles arrived today.
