A slide out for a sleeping area or more floor area?...Either way that is really cool....

Very nice shack. It sounds like a lot of money, but when you compare it to the price of a boat, it seems quite reasonable.

Uhh ice fishing with Dave,, well lets just say I haven't been able to even look at Cherry Brandy from the last time we went, lol. Mind you that was years ago I am sure he looks back on it with about as much enthusiasm as I do.. Fun times just glad they are over lol.

Those are a nice shack Trav. I looked at those flip down axles but the reason I think it's not so good for my design is you can't get a full 8 feet wide on them.

Well I am close to finishing this project, custom benches are done, getting them installed and the hole covers in. The benches fold down to sleep on. I have custom 8mm -40 vinyl cushions for it. Still need to put in the batteries (2 x 6 volts in series), charger, inverter, tv and stereo system as well as finish putting the lights in. I put corner jacks on so it can be jacked off the ice so it doesn't freeze in.

Okay, that's it you guys. I can't take it anymore. I am building myself a new icefishing shack. Last time I set up my piece of crap 4 man Eastman Ice Cube I got pissed off at it and broke a few poles again and ripped it a bit. I hate that piece of junk. You guys are an inspiration.

Cool shelter all it needs is wheels and a laptop with built in sonar or under water video surveillance.

He may as well go all the way! If you can afford it at this point, what's a few more extras.

Paul · « **Reply #56 on:** January 25, 2012, 02:44:29 PM »

Got the cushions in. Still need to wire

Screw the wiring, take that bad boy fishing already. It almost sacrilegious to not be using that thing, finished or not...
