Questions on Ice Show

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. I'm thinking of attending the show this weekend. My primary purpose is that I am shopping for a flip style shack. Are the deals at the show going to be better than I can find on sale, elsewhere?

I'm considering the Frabill XL Twin, Fish Trap Guide, Otter Lodge, and Eskimo QFII or QFIII. Any advu=ice would also be appreciated.

Thanks.

i am sure you are getting the same "deal" price they would normally offer. Your really benifit is having every brand, type, model, whatever, all in the same place at the same time. You get to try them all out with out driving all over town.

Well I own a Otter resort portable that I bought at the ice show 2 yrs. ago and I am very pleased with it so far. Very easy to load/unload, stays plenty warm, sets up in no time, and I can pull it behind my sled going 60 mph across the lake if I want. Everything fits in the sled of the shack, throw the cover on and away you go. Plenty of room when set up and well worth the money if you ask me.

You can usually do better at a major sporting-goods retailer by using their credit card. Most of them offer 10% off, and 12 month same as cash deals. And returning products that are a not quite right are much easier at a store than chasing down the manufacturer.

    • Yeah it was a beatdown
    • Your kid needs to stay with him!👍
    • My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.     
    • 🤔as a recovering machinist!🤣🤣that must make me a recovering welder!
    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
