I was just browsing through the open water forum and noticed that someone had started a gallery of fmers personal boats. I was wondering if it would be possible to do the same with fish houses. I am planning on building a permanent one myself and think it would be great if there was a fish house gallery to give people like me some more ideas as to what all to include in such a project. I am sure people have come up with some good ideas that most of us wouldn't normally think of.

This is my house I built back in 1998. Its 8 x 22. This summer I am going to build another 8x16 w/ a V-nose. I strongly reccommend planning the interior first especially the hole placement before deciding on what how the floor structure is designed. I see too many houses that the holes were the last thought and not the first. Its what you look at the most all day! Decide the layout then build the floor so the cross members arent going to interfere. Just my 2 cents! grin.gif

Thought I would dig up this old post since tis the season. I am going to try and take some pictures following the progress of my remodeling of my interior. I was able to spend a weekend back home in MN last week and much to my dismay I was not allowed by the resort owner to do any work on my house because of deer hunting. Aarghh tongue.gif. Anyways, hope to see some pics of some of your houses so I can get some ideas; plus they are just plain fun to look at. Not exactly sure how I am going to go about building a booth that converts into a double bed just yet. Would like to make it so the benches flip up and provide storage.

Norden,

I just had to pipe in on your photos. Your children look like they spend allot of time with Dad at the fish house and enjoy it, love the two in bed watching TV. I have two younger boys and can't wait to do the same. Great inspiration for me.

Thanks,

mr

The blue things are clothes bags that button to the wall so we have a place to ditch the dirty laundry. They are made of canvas and have zippers. We usually stay 3+ days and the kids tend to get dirty.

It was a lot of fun working on the house. I think I spent another $800 to fix it up but that included catch covers, rattle reels, foam, and everything else. I took it down to store in Hastings until ice and it pulled pretty good. Just need to stock it with a few more things and its ready!

Kylesrk.. all I can say is WOW!! That is one nice looking fish house. Congrats. If I can ask, how long did the construction take and how much did it cost? I've been kicking the idea around of getting a permanent, but not sure if I could pull something off like you did, or if I should just buy one.. [email protected]

      New boat question

      By Wanderer · Posted

      If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.

      New boat question

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...

      By Wanderer · Posted

      Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?

      New boat question

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      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.
