Best 2-man portable

[fishinlocal]

I am looking to get a new portable this year. I have the Fish Trap Pro and love it for just me, but I will soon be taking my boy out with me and the Pro just doesn't quite work well for that. I am a big guy 6'5", 270 and want something I can stand up in a little better than the Pro, so the Guide just won't cut it. I like the flip over style, but in the end I want something I can hand pull fairly easy and yet have plenty of room inside for me and another person. Any suggestions.

You can get a three man flip over and put hyfax on it. I like my otter, but it's not tall. You could get a bigger one or there are many others out there.

Have you given a Fish Trap Voyager a look?? I have one and I rather enjoy it. At 6'5" I don't think you will find a portable you can fully stand up in. I'm 6'1" and I stand in my Voyager with my head touching the top.

I would suggest looking at a voyager as well. I really like mine for the room and the weight. I don't think you could stand up fully w/ your height but not many portables will accomodate you at that size.

Yup, Voyager.

I have an Eskimo Grand Caravan that I am going to be selling, I bought a fish trap scout and have a pull behind sleeper so this has to go. I am 6'2" and I can stand no problem with a couple inches to spare. It has 2 boat seats mounted and also comes with the factory bench seat, fishes 2 guys real good and could even fit a 3rd guy if needed. Has a cover and hitch for a wheeler. If not interested in used, I think if I was looking for a house with sled that is taller I would buy the grand caravan again, just my 2 cents.

Otter lodge is 6'4" at its highest point. It has a big heavy sled for hauling a lot of gear.

I assume big and heavy means for a wheeler or truck. I really want something to hand pull if possible. I have been looking at the voyager.

The Voyager is Sumo for a 2-man. I have a Yukon and am happy with it. I'm 6'1" 225, and am quite comfortable. The Yukon alone weighs in at about 100lbs, and when you throw gear on top it still can be a bugger pulling through even a little snow. I haven't opted for the Hyfax yet, but I probably will. I'm getting too old to keep muscling it out. Better yet bring a younger, stronger fishing buddy along to drag it out. My problem is that compared to my fishing buddy, I'm the younger, stronger. I don't know the unladened weight of the Voyager, but I think the web site has it listed in their spec's. My 2 cents is go with the Yukon for a decent 2-man. Otter also has a decent sized 2-man. Go to your local Gander/Scheels/Cabela's/Thorne Bro's and sit in them. Best way to make up your mind.

I just bought the Otter Lodge and took it out on the lake for the first time last weekend. Even with it being loaded with a full 20 pound propane tank, all the gear, food, Vexilars etc, I thought it pulled out relatively easy by hand. I wouldn't want to walk a mile with it, but it was definitely easier than I had imagined it would be. I would suggest you go with the Otter; it's made really well.

I have both a Voyager and an Otter Lodge. You can't go wrong using either as a two man. Both very well built. Check out the new Otter Magnum Ice Camo on their webiste. Looks pretty nice and you get a package deal with seats, cover, etc.

you might want to also look at the team wild houses. i think they are an otter knock-off. i liked how sturdy they look and might just end up getting one this week. a 3 man with the sleigh, bench seat, and travel cover for 419. i didnt think that was too bad. www.wild-outdoors.com

They look even more l ike an exact Otter with different marketing to me. They are even in Maple Lake, which is where Otter is. Interesting....

I got my Otter direct from Otter factory. I like it very much. I have Cabin (big one man, or small/medium 2 man). I am just under 6' tall and my head bumps in the middle. But it is easy pulling, I would not want any bigger and pull by myself. But I am getting old too

[DRH1175]

Vyoager. I love mine and fish 2 full grown guys quite often. It is easy to pull and I can load mine in my Durrango quite easily by myself. I love it!

[schweady]

Otter Cabin, hands down.

[Quackaddict9]

I have a Yukon and like it alot.

The Otters are ok, have fished out of them but prefer my Trap Yukon though.

[DTro]

Take a look at the Otter Lodge for sure.

Otter Lodge

[jigging-matt]

I have had my voyeageur for about 3 years now and love it.

Gotta throw a shot out for the X2.

Roomy, adjustable seating with included storage under neath seat and also comfortable seats. Large sturdy poles and plenty space.

[Surface Tension]

Otter lodge is about the same weight as the Voyager.

I believe the height is about the same too.

Both are very good flip overs. I prefer the Otter because of the extremely tough sled and the rake that the front has.

Pulling either by hand isn't bad on hard pack but once you get into snow of any depth you'll get a work out. It helps to get the majority of the weight in the back of the sled.

Otter!!! My buddies use clam and I have an Otter. They have one leg on the side when it windy to hold down the shelter and I'm just sitting there enjoying fishing.

[Eric Wettschreck]

Although I have the Voyager I've fished out of the Otter also. One cool thing about the Otter is the skirting that goes around the sled on the inside. The Voyager does not have this. On windy days (what??? Windy day on the prairie????) your leg sure feels it in the Voyager. The wind shoots up under the canvas right smack dab onto your calf and starts to freeze holes.

Having said that, I still like my Voyager. They are both good.

Frabill prowler has my vote. Easy to pull and get in my small truck.
