I agree, both are nice units, I own houses from both companies. But one thing really separates them.... Sled strength. Clam Corp Fish Traps are very nice units. But when I am going to hit big water or plan on really covering some ground, my Otter houses are the only way I go. Behind my snowmobile or my ATV without even consideration it will be my Otter. On my ATV rack I can carry my Fish Trap Pro's or Scout, but I will not pull them behind from expierience. I have never EVER had a strength compromise on an Otter Sled with hyfax. Sturdy, Reliable, Roomy, and the best for rugged conditions.

Again, I own multiple portable houses, many will confirm this, and I have no issues with either, as a matter of fact, these two companies I mention are all of my fleet.... But like I said above, it is hard to beat an Otter, especially on a multiple man unit!!!

Good luck on your purchase and enjoy your time on ice!

they r basically the same thing just different brands...

Not the same. Totally different canvas, seating, pole design, sizes, and durability. Strongest and longest lasting there is on the market

Not to mention Customer Service. Which is rarely needed. And if they are located in Maple Lake

Both use a 900 deneer fabric, both use 1 1/4" dia. poles one Sqr. one round, Both have nylon slides on the poles. Seats are the same, X2 sled is about an exact copy of the Otter. Didn't like the light color on the inside of the x2 and it's not quite as high, otherwise it looks to me like a copy of the Otter Lodge.

    • 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
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • 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.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • 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.
