Shappell 2000

That's what I was thinking too. Something not too expensive, yet gets me out of the wind, is light weight, and has a floor to put things on and keep dry. Just not sure of the quality....if they're durable and can handle the elements over time.

I am starting my 4th year with my 2000. I have the poly covering I also believe that there is also a tarp type material for covering. I don't have any holes in my yet and have hard it out in all kinds of conditions! I would suggest it for anyone looking to spend less that a few hundred bucks. It is very nice because it fits in the back seat of my car as well. You might want to think about some sort of anchors for it though if you are out where there is no snow and it is windy. I went for a little ride earlier this winter!

I have one that I used exclusively for a year. Now I have a 2-man flip-over that I mainly use. The Shappell is for quick trips when I don't want to lug everything out. Plus it fits in my car and only weighs about 30 lbs. I got mine at FF on sale at the end of the season for $120

I have a Shappell 2000 also. I bought mine last Christmas at Fleet & Farm for about $150. I love it, fits in the trunk of my car and has two molded bucket holders on top of the sled when it's folded down. Put everything on it, including the auger and make my way out onto the ice. I can set it up in about 5 minutes now. Definately worth checking out. My only problem is that you can't stand up fully in it so my back gets sore alot, but it works great for me and all my gear!

I agree, I considered the 2000 for the nice price, but for another $45-$50 you can get the 3000 which is 68" high versus the 58" on the 2000. I ended up going with that because I like to be able to stretch out a bit every once in awhile...The bigger holes are nice too, 11X26 versus 9X20...But, like some have said, the 2000 fits in the trunk better:-)

I just bought a Shappell DX3000 last Saturday from Cabelas. It measures 47" X 70" X 72" high. Marine Carpeting, two hinged hole covers (11X26), Arctic Shield fabric, two panoramic windows with shades, two zipper doors, folds in half and weighs 41 lbs. They had a few in the bargan cave for $187.00 but had 25% off which got it to around $140.00 and then they have the deal where you get $$ off depending on how much you spend so if you spend another 10 bucks you get $30.00 off for spending over $150.00. That got the price down to $110.00. Most places list this house for between $240 - $280.

It was in the one at Rogers. I didn't go there planning to buy a fish house and I didn't really know what this one normally sells for, but thought it looked like a good deal so I bought it. I don't know if they have any more. When I got there they had one in a box and the one I bought setup.

    • 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.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
