Eskimo Stingray

[moby1]

Never seen one until tonight at gander. Does anyone have one or used one? How does the 1.2 hp or whatever it is do in comparison to a 2hp. Any idea how it would compare to mag2000 with single chipper? (what I currently have)

I am looking into purchasing one as well...so any info that anyone has would be much appreciated!

I think there was a post awhile back about the stingray and someone said that they worked pretty good for that horsepower. If you do a search for stingray you should be able to find it.

they ere an awesome auger for the money and as i said in the other post the recoil had broke when we were out and going to fish but gander mt. in mankato exchanged the whole auger so i was happy but yes they cut very good

I beleive this is the post you are looking for

Yes, I have had one now for a couple weeks. It does the job

really quite well and is really easy on the gas. Having

drilled 30 holes through ice over 2ft thick and filling it

with only a half tank of gas it still seems to have the same

amount in the tank. I have not had any problems with mine

so far, "keeps his fingers crossed"

If you are, you may want to act fast. Gander in Maple Grove had one last night and none today. Fleet farm, zero, Gander in Fridley on University has 2 left as of half hour ago. They also had quite a few blades for my Mag 2000. Neither of the above locations had any mag 2000 blades left, n casea any one is looking for some.

Hey Thanks Moby, I am going to try and get over to Gander tonight...do you know if they are on sale at all?

[moby1]

Yes they are on sale. I think they are $20 off. I bought one but it is still in the box. Havent decided if I will keep it or my mag 2000 yet.

Just an update

I unboxrd the stingray yesterday for the minnetonka event. I actually assembled it on the ice. The only problem I had was the black line (overflow??) from the tank was not connected and barely long enough to connect to where it goes. Got it fired up and I bet drilled every bit of 80+ holes. That thing works awesome. Looks like the mag2000 will be getting sold or traded. TWO THUMBS UP So FAR!! We ended up with 3 fat norts around 7lbs. We only registered one that ended up being the big fish of the contest @ 7.3lbs.

Im leaving now to give it another work out on med

My update goes the same way Moby, I just got one yesterday and tried it out right before the super bowl, and man does it cut great! So far I give mine 2 thumbs up as well! It went through 23" of ice without any problems at all, and fast too!

Yep, I have not been disapointed at all with mine yet, that

is except last thursday when I was using it I had drilled

6 holes and shut it down and fished for a while. Then when

nothing was biting I moved and went to crank it up and

primed it one time to many and flooded it. They sure are

hard to start after flooding them. But I learned my lesson.
