Title: Wich do you prefer eskimo 3i or bunker 250
Post by: chilly-willy on Oct 29, 2017, 09:11 AM
With out opening a can of worms..  in your honest opinion which is better??  the eskimo quick fish 3i  or the frabill bunker 250 ?? The fabric is better I think on the 250 but it's easier to heat the 3i.. asking since I am in market for a new hub  shanty... also what did you think of the pole /hub system design  of frabill versus eskimo.. if you seen each??  And are zipper in the eskimo the same?? For those who have seen bolth..

If you're looking from the point of view which has more room the Bunker has 10 1/2 more square feet of room.  I don't remember their hub system so I can't comment there but I haven't had any issues with my hubs on my Eskimo Fatfish 949I.  Depending on where you get the shelter from you could get the Fatfish 949I for a little more and have more room than both of the shelters you mentioned.

I cant speak, for the bunker, but I bought a eskimo 3i last year. The thing is great. Heats up faster than my old hard side. quick to set up and move. I easily set it up and fish with it on my own. Just make sure you are ready to tie it down quick if its windy and your solo. Haha.
