Title: Shappell dx4000 or dx4000?
Post by: AT Grimaldi on Nov 20, 2018, 08:06 PM

Anyone have any opinions on either a Shappell dx4000 or dx3000?

Anyone even have one of these things?

ATG Jr and I were up in Maine last winter and our shelter blew away with 4 spikes drilled onto the ice.

There was a father/son team in a dx4000 who were toasty warm, feet off the ice and catching g fish.  Looked pretty cool.  He used 4 lag bolts with fender washer on the four interior corners. 

I'm torn between the two models
