I'll get it started!




Some may recognize my shanty from my post on the build up stage.
It's a 6 1/2' x 9' drop down. Built from scratch over the summer a couple of years ago.
It's set up with 3 holes and a 24" x 36" spearing hole. Each hole is illuminated by led lighting and set up with rattle wheels..
Interior is 12v wired for lighting and Sirius Radio also has 110v for generator hook up.
10,000 btu wall heater, dual 20lb Propane Tanks and a dual RV range for cooking.
Tows nicely with the quad and has 24 plus night on the ice in 2 years. Nothing but "Good Times"
Sleeps 3 fairly well.

This is a Best Butt Ugly Shanty entry...

This is Winnie.  She served us incredibly for 18 seasons... but was finally retired in 2008.  She still serves as a utility shed to this day.  It survived 2 high speed collisions, and had to be brought back from the dead after a Break and Enter in the early 90's.  She definately didn't look pretty, with a patchwork of fix's and paint that seen better days, but we certainly pulled alot of fish out of her, and for that we will be forever thankful

What, no best Low Tech Shanty?

Here's mine   

[mud_n_fun]

Here is my first entry is for the Tricked Out category:

This shanty folded down measures 5'x7'. Each side may be opened by it self or both at the same time which makes it 15' x 7' with room for eight, 12 if four are kids. The complete set up time is about 1 min and take down as well. Under the seats and center is enough storage room for at least that many peoples equipment and coats, ect... once it's warmed up inside. There are easy storage quick access rod holders in four spots that will hold 16 rods. And when the snow is deep the six inches of clearance would make it a bear to pull so you just hit a switch an the hydraulic skis raise it to twelve inches.





My next enty will come after this weekend when I get some better picks.

[panfishman13]

so you finally finished it mud? awesome!

[toddyrotten]

Hydraulics, wow!

[capt.shay]

Would this qualify as a shanty?  It sure is but ugly.

[stoutbait]

She will do about 85mph with the afterburners on!


And at slower speeds is stable enough to cook a nice meal in.

[JHFish]

[beeman]

[stoutbait]

Hey stoutbait, whats the tailpipe for? You got a generator or something in there?

It was a learning mistake with an old heater and duct work. The heater has been replaced. But it looks like our shack has a jet engine on it so we kept part of the pipe. It gets alot of looks and questions.

[JIGGIN69]

Could also use the stove pipe as a urinal. Dont have to go outside that way.

JIGGIN.

[michianafisherman]

Don't stovepipes go out the roof?

Here's my submission, my Pack Shack.  Built about six years ago
I used to bleed green and gold but I am a Favre fan more than a Packer fan.
Now to top it all off, it's too cold to repaint it Purple and Yellow.
So I get to look at this ugly shack all year.
