I have seen two or three Frabills back on the clearence shelf at Sams club in FBKs. Not sure what size, pretty big though, $250 and still in the boxes.

Hey Dan, what kind of swivel seats are you looking for? You can find Fold down boat swivel seats at the Warehouse or you can buy the bucket swivel tops as well. You could have the best of both worlds and put a boat swivel seat on to a bucket top. Just a suggestion.

By the way welcome aboard IS, "All Ice Fishing all the time"

Frabill Venture for $219.99 at Sams.  They had 2 left Sunday at 4pm.  They are all the way on the back wall behind the freezers on the clearance rack.  That's a good price. 

I'd like to get something more portable than the house I have.  I'm not too impressed with the Eskimo's that Sportsmans Warehouse carry.  Don't care the the Frabill either.  I wish that Sportsmans would get the fish houses to go with the Otter sleds they carry.  I hear that they are alot better.

Dan Otter outdoors has the best seats that swivel that I have seen so far.
I saw the setup at Sentry in NP. The seats sit on a rail that adjusts to the width of your sled.

Go to http://eelement.appolis.com/OTTEROUTDOORS/eproddetail.asp?S=67&P=5050&PubID=4393&V=7&PID=1062&iss= (http://eelement.appolis.com/OTTEROUTDOORS/eproddetail.asp?S=67&P=5050&PubID=4393&V=7&PID=1062&iss=) to find the seats.

Kevin go to this site http://www.otteroutdoors.com/icehouse.html (http://www.otteroutdoors.com/icehouse.html) or check out the ones at Sentry in NP, I think they are still having 10% off the houses and they have a nice big Otter with those seats I was telling Dan about. If you feel like taking a drive there is a Otter Sled dealer in Palmer.

I didn't know that Sentery in NP had some otter houses.  I'll have to take a look.  A few months ago I called the dealer in Palmer a few times with no answer. 

I can't afford one right now anyways!  Stupid high heating bills.

I hear you, I bought an El Cheapo at walmart for 130, it is a Polar Deluxe popup tent from HT Ent. for two people seems pretty roomy since I already had a Husky sled.
