I like what Frabill has done with their flip over style house. The tub has "skis" and the way it's molded, allows you to have a little extra space. and there are covers on the inside. You can store stuff in that compartment. I thought that was kind of cool..

Yup. The USE4ALL drop down shack. It is a Thinsulate softside, but mounted on a trailer.

The Thinsulate and framing comes off to convert it to a cargo trailer.

This thing was SLICK! The wife and I almost bought it on the spot.

A 13' 6" X 6' 4" complete turn-key shack for $3995!

I think next year this rig will be in our driveway.

For those on a budget the Fish Cam is the way to go! Disclaimer- My little bro is working at the booth. However after looking it over myself, Good value stamp from a guy that doesn't have the income to go buy the Aqua vu model I would like to have. The show special beats any $99 pricetag you see...

I believe the Fish Cam runs on 10 C batteries in its bottom and does not have the capability to accept external power. I would take a look at the Marcum VS250 for a few more bucks. In the long run, a much better investment, even for a 1st camera. One csutomer found a deal on a VS250 for $125 after taxes with a $20 mail in rebate.

Otter Outdoors new Ice Camo caught my eye. As well as, Otter's newly designed retangular pole system (newer than Otter's current rectangular pole system) and unbreakable windows.

How about that nice storage compartment in between the Otter seats? That caught my eye, too!

Ya they got rid of the truck dealers and the Ice "Smurf" Team took over 1/4 of the main haul. I think Ice Fishing is hitting a plateau. It may have even started last year. Very few new products coming out and not many improvements on existing ones. I dont know what more you can use out on the ice that we dont already have.

Maybe X-ray vision goggles that make it possible to see through the ice and see structure and fish? crazy.gif

The fish vision UV Lure Paint was interesting. If it does what they say it will be worth its wait in gold.

Dave Im with you the new poles and windows on the Otter will be a hit. I may have to get one of them blue camo Otters. Id be the 1st around here to have one and people wouldnt have to stop at 10 purple Otters before they find mine. grin.gif

That new storage divider between the seats gives me all kind of ideas for it. Stereo system with Led lights out the front that you can point at your holes. Travel bar with blender and ice tray. Oops sorry I got carried away there. crazy.gif

The Icegator should be a mean cutting machine once they get the Nils shaft connected to it. That was probably the best new invention I saw this year. I dont think that canvas icehouse on wheels will last after a few years of driving down the freeway at 70 plus miles a hour.

That's funny because the booths were right next to each other grin.gif

Otter Blue caught my eye as well.

So did the Bikini Ice team wink.gif

      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.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      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.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      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.
