I have a Frabill Ranger Triplex. I am real happy with it. My dad and I went in and bought it together. It weighs 113 lbs and fully loaded it weighs 170+. I had some problems with it early, but it wasn't caused by a defect. The place that I bought it put it together wrong and all of the pole bushings broke. Frabill was great. They sent parts that I needed on 3 seperate occasions. I went with the triplex due to the room it had and the fact that we sometimes have 3 or 4 people fishing with us. It has windows on all sides so we can put tipups outside and watch them through the windows. Here is a pic of it.



This was on a lake in SD. The wind was blowing about 40 as you can see by the way the shanty is puffed up. One word of caution no matter what you get...ICE ANCHORS.

Hey Fozsey....  That looks like a great shanty...i was just wondering if there is enough room in the Tri-plex to fish 3 or 4 and still have enough elbow room for electronics ? I am thinking about getting a 2 person shanty for just myself..so theres enough room for my camera and other equiptment..if that is nessesary.. i was also wondering how is that shanty as far as pulling ? thanks for all your input...
