Eskimo bench seat question

[slabs-ia]

How is it for transporting in truck? does the bench take up much room? Brother in law is thinking of one and wanted me to ask anyone who has had one ,thanks ,slabs

I have the Eskimo quick flip II deluxe with the bench seat. The back of the seat folds down and should fit in his truck fine. I have a Dodge Dakota Qaud Cab and it fits with a soft cover. If you have a full size bed you will have no problem

The Eskimo bench seat folds down in all models. It shouldn't be a problem for you.

In case anyone hasn't noticed, the Eskimo line of Fish Houses has been improved over last years models.

I'm impressed.

Northlander, you would absolutely love the Eskimo QuickFlip III. Plenty of room and head room too.

could 2 fit in back of a tahoe? i wasnt gonna get a new one but you guys might talk me into it and we take his tahoe so would 2 fit?

Rick, I was impressed with the Eskimo Quick Flip 3 also, for the money I think it is very nice. Do you know anybody who has a Eskimo? How are they liking them?, went to the show today (Sun.) and nobody had any left.---Thanks for your help.

My quickflip 2 deluxe fits in the back of my Jeep Cherokee so it can easily fit in a truck. Probobly even a short box.

Web, I like the new Eskimo so far. However it has not yet been field tested. The only concern I am going to have is protability. The unit is a bit heavier with the bench seat installed. Hopefully for early ice we don't get alot of snow and then later in the season I can just drive to the spots.

The III fits perfectly in the bed of my F-150 which is short bed. It is slightly heavier, making it a little tougher for one guy to move it in and out of the truck , but the amount of space inside is unbelievable. I'm a little over 6-1" and can almost stand straight up. They also offer a tow bar so once the ice is a little thicker, I'll be pulling it with my sled. I wouldn't see a problem stacking one on another of you needed to carry 2 in the back. As Rick mentions, the bench folds down for transporting.

I just got a Quickflip 3 and put a hitch on it. Used it at LOW this weekend and it pulled great. It's very roomy and at 78" high, I wanted something I could stand up in. For the price its a great house. We were in Canada on the Red River with 30mph gusts and had no problems keeping it warm and it didn't shake a whole bunch, I'm very happy with it.

My cousin picked up the QuikFlip II before we headed up to LOTW this past weekend. It performed flawlessly. Even with the wind howling like it was, it took about 2 minutes with the sunflower on high to warm it up enough for me to drop the Carharts and take care of business. Now, if I'd only remembered to bring out toilet paper. Where's a Vikings hat when you need one. HeHeHe

I fished out of my Fishtrap all weekend, so I can't tell you how the Eskimo fishes. Oh, and did I mention that we slaughtered the Walters and Snaugers?

Farve for President? Does he ice fish? I suppose if he did he'd have a Quickflip. Good to hear the news on the Eskimo stuff I bought the Barracuda auger 2 years ago and my buddies thought I was crazy...they're always using my Barracuda now...

I just got a Quickflip III as well. Looking to hit some early ice but noticed the unit is a bit on the heavy side so portability may be an issue. Have to get a hitch so my 3 wheeler can pull it.
Gonna put it together today after work and try out some metro ice this weekend can't wait. Having a family fish fry on New Year's so I'd better get fishing.

Well, after reading all this, I decided that I had to have a Quick Flip II. My wife, the woman who spends my paycheck, didn't think it was a good idea. I finally talked her into joining me inside to see what she thought. When the door was zipped and the windows closed, she thought it was cozy. Well, we started snuggling and fooling around and making a bit of noise. The up side is that she thinks its a good fish house. the down side is that we are permanently banned from Fleet Farm.

As a fellow QF3 owner, I can not describe how impressed I am and how hard I laughed.

YOU DA MAN!!

icehousebob, good story. I had mine set up downstairs and the wife decided to join me in my cozy new shack. I will not continue the story from her as this forum is dedicated to the topic of fishing...
