Mine scissors a little but it doesn't effect it. You could shim yours or add a second pin.
Hi Guys,Have a look at my Smitty on page 19. I had the same problem with scissoring until I installed the angle brackets. Or, you could do what I did with version 2.0 on page 41, double bolts on 2x6 crossbars....
My Smitty construction begins, nearly left my spine on the ice last weekend. It shall be custom, oh yes, yes it will.Thanks Smitty for the innovation!
I would shim it like others have said, I don't know how much "play" you have....do you have any pics of it?......could also wrap blue painters tape around the ends of your cross braces, keep wrapping and testing till you get a good snug fit.......without doing anything, I think it would still be ok as long as you are pulling by hand.Keep the questions coming, we will help the best we can.
I took advantage of the too warm to ice fish weekend to build my Smitty sled. Now we just need some snow and colder weather to try it out. It's a permanent build based on the 67 pages of previous awesome designs on here. I added a rigid hitch to pull behind a snowmobile but used spring clips to be able to swap out for a rope. Thanks for all the great ideas on here and thanks Smitty for the original!
Ok guys here is my smitty sled! Have any questions just ask! thanks smitty!
ready to rock n roll, sold the pop up and went with flip up. original bench removed, and the bench seat installed on the moving milkcrate that also serves as a storage.it's also lower which gives me more room for hooksets, and moved more towards the back which gives me more fiashable area. i can also comfortably sit with windbreaker while the hut is on smitty.what kind of method are you guys using to secure flip hut to smitty so it can be used half way up? thanks

Smitty sled came in handy today, snow was wet and many guys were dragging sleds all over lake. Had a few lookers when we pulled by.We did find out one thing it does not go together if you put skis with eye bolts facing inwards. Took me awhile to figure it out and I was in hurry.
