Thanks Hardwater! Being in Montana, we do have Scheels, but when I went to one in person & looked at shacks earlier in the year, I was told that store didn't have the shelter i was looking for, & that they won't acquire shacks from other stores in general. And if they were able to I would have to pay an additional $200 just to have it transfered to my local (100 miles away) Scheels.
I get the fact that flip shelters and shelters in general when set up, take up alot of retail real estate. But when plopping down around a grand for a shelter, I really want to sit in one and check it out. Definitely don't want to order one to get it delivered and then not be satisfied with it. Choices out here are very limited.
Led lights, rod holders, cover, and hyfax are must haves for sure. I will probably convert my current Otter tow hitch onto whatever shelter I end up with. I like the Otter console, but am thinking of making a custom console with some plywood so I can add on some conveniences. Thinking cup holders, forcep holder, swiveling rod holder, bin or two for general catch all, cell phone holder, down light for tub, USB charger, and a UV LED cup for charging glow lures.
