I looked through the first few pages and seeing the search isn't working for me, i had to post this one up. sorry if it has been asked before.

I'm looking for a one man flip over that has a built in seat, and is around $200...it is probably going to be tough, but i'm looking laugh.gif It also needs to fit in the back of my jeep, and with the seats folded down, it less than 58" long...

I liked the Frabill Recon, but it doesn't come with a seat... are there any other singles in the price range? or am i stuck looking for a used (which i have found to be beat to heck)...

Otter has their Den on closeout for $288. I know it's more than you noted you wanted to spend, but I can only believe it's a nice house. I have a cabin and I can fit it into the back of my GMC Envoy with the seats folded down. The den is listed at 56", which should fit for you.

I believe the otter package comes with a seat and cover. It's a great deal if you look at the original price. I believe otter is discontinuing this model and replacing it with the cottage, which is a little wider.

would the fish trap scout include a seat?

I'd be looking at a cover and a seat then too. the Otter den doesn't sound bad once you look at whats included.

on edit: hey, you beat me to it...

I picked up a Den at that price and it really is a fantastic house. Well worth the money, the seat is great and the cover is too. It is a very roomy 1 man house. I like it better than the FT Pro that I also looked at because the sled is a little longer and bigger which is much more functional on the ice.

It is such a great deal for what you get.

Shaggzz26,

You should probably remove the link to the Fleet Farm ad(rules). But the scout is arguably the best 1-man run-n-gun. The Otter Den is nice, too. But it's larger and little harder to run and gun. It's actually not much smaller than the Fish Trap Guide.

I have a Scout, Pro and Guide and prefer the Scout for many reasons. It's light, easy to move around and you don't have to extend any poles. It fishes great and the seat is comfy too.

Well, that's the quote of the year for me Corey, thanks. It's good to hear that from a guy that has similar size shelters.

I've already got the large house (Canvas Craft Magnum size), but I want a small run-and-gun house. I have an older Fish Trap, but it doesn't have a door(Hey, I may sit for a spell on occasion grin.gif). I had been going back and forth between the Scout and the Pro and couldn't decide. Since the sled size is the same, the Pro can't carry anymore gear, and since I'm only gonna use one hole in my run-n-gun, I'm not concerned about extra space for that. It's nice not to have to mess with extending the poles. Yeah, I'm a bigger guy (6', 250#), but I've sat in the Scout many times, and I think it will work great as a second (one man-one hole) sled.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      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.

      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.
