Multi-Season Fish House?

[Bro44]

Did anyone see the new fish house on the market? It's called the Sportsman's Palace. I've been looking for a multi-season trailer and I think this is the one that I'm going to go with. Looking for any other suggestions before I pull the trigger.

Are you talking about the long trailers at the ice show? I saw them, looked pretty cool. You can use the trailer for multiple things during the year and in the winter fish and sleep in. I thought they would even make a good hunting blind. Another one of those "Why didn't I think of that" Type of thing.

I compared the Sportsman's Palace to all the multiseason trailers at the show and this unit hands down is better than anything else at the show. They aren't yet set up with any dealers since they are so new to the industry. They wouldn't sell direct which tells me that they want to protect the dealers that they choose to go through. If anyone else seen these or wants to comment please feel free. All suggestions are welcomed before I spend 20k on a multi season trailer.

They were fancy and look to be well built, at first glance I thought it was large enough for a ranger but after getting inside it would not fit. Didn't see how heavy they were either, but after looking at the hitch they must be pretty heavy. I know the $40k sticker was heavy!

Don't remember which size they were talking about, but one salesman said 5400 lbs. If you saw a sample of their floor, you'd quickly understand why. Built like a tank!

I thought they seemed like they were too tall, looked like it would be excessive wind drag.

and you don't see tanks bending and breaking apart. I think too many houses that are built today are built of too light of steel. That way the cost is keep down. Alot of companies are looking at building as many houses as possible in a short amount of time, but how many of these house will be around in 15 years of hard use. Everyone wants a light weight house, but they want to pull them out on the lake with a 3/4 or 1 ton 4 door diesel truck. That just the way I feel about houses on the market now, we need something better.

Nope, but I have been to both there and WOF. I do all my purchasing from private breeders.

I'm going to be taking the 17 footer to Red Lake in a couple weeks with one of the head sales reps. of the Palace. I asked them about being able to fit a ranger and it will fit, even with the roll cage. I'll be pulling it with my 1/2 ton F150. I'll let you know how it pulls.

I travel the Northern states and Canada and the sportmans is hands down "THE" best built on the market. I personally know the guy who builds the base; I grew up ice fishing in all his house bases and he's very picky and does a great job. Last thing you need are problems with the trailer. The workmanship on the palaces are awesome... you get what you pay for. Great for Northern MN lodges.
