Long day of making my otter xl into a smitty. It's a tank but it turned out good. Still have to finish the auger caddy but maybe my design will give others ideas.
IMO the point where people go wrong is placing cross member supports way to close to the tips of the skis. If there is too much weight forward, they can't do what they're supposed to properly.
If you are planning on using a machine to pull that you are all set for the most part.. If pulling by hand, I would want the skis to be a lot longer if you get snow. The longer the ski, the easier it is to pull even on bare ice, longer skis also float the load on top of snow better. The best Smitty ski IMO has at least these two things, around 6ft, and light colored, dark skis always melt in and can get stuck if you let it freeze back up..<°)))>{
Nice smitty! Is there room in the tent for someone else to set up a chair and fish or is it solo only?
I'm building a smitty Jr its gonna be cool Stay tuned.
I've had similar thoughts, for my kids to ride sledding..Looking forward to your pictures..<°)))>{
How to determine where to mount the risers on the ski's?
I purchased my Original Smitty Sled Kit today. Excited to get it delivered. Great idea!
Finally finished mine. Just have to get rope and some longer bungees.
They aren't made to be pretty it's all in the function.
