My wife and I were in the market for a two person flip over, and that bench seat was a deal breaker. We hated to spend the extra $200, but we went with the Yukon, and are glad we did. Better seating and a bit higher so we can stand up straight if needed. I also have a Scout that I wouldn't trade for anything. Jeff
My friends questioned me buying the scout, said I rarely fish alone, I've used it 7 times this season already!! Went out with buddies in my Trap Guide around 4 times... Now that I have the scout im much more comfortable on the ice and I go out more often by myself
My wife got me a Scout for Christmas. I love it!!! I was out saturday and the wind was howling. If not or this shelter I wouldn't have lasted 2 hours on the ice. But I was able to put in a solid 9 hours. I don't know why it took so long to get a shelter. Now I have a Vex. a Fish Trap Scout, A Heater, and all winter to fish. Life is good!!!
Upperchpounder, I feel bad for ya. They won't let you return it? Even though it doesn't function properly? That isn't your fault? Had it been Cabelas you could take it all down put it back in the box and return it. That was the beauty of Cabelas not only are they great about customer satisfaction, but also this winter...you could sit in any one of the 10 or so shanties they had set up. Nothing like seeing it firsthand prior to buying. I did notice that this years Guide had a bench seat and I went inside and sat in it. I did not like it either. very uncomfortable as compared to mine. I got the Guide with the two seats and love it. I have the old style Scout for days alone and the Guide for when my daughter or a buddy accompanies me for a day on the ice. I hope you find what your looking for.
I have a viking best shanty I've ever owned and never tips over. clam sux now when they got a spokesman (Genz) Their products stareted to suck everyone thinks he is the greatest in reality he is just a decent guide. He endorses junk and is all about the money ...
Opinion's are opinion's and you are entitled to them but I would choose you're words a little more wisely !They are a site sponsor and it would be a shame to loose a sponsor for Scott .I would suggest that if you have an issue with a product to contact them directly and not on a public forum .
Well, I do agree w/you there. Fact is though, I DID call them... I DID email them... On the phone they told me something like "it is what it is"... as for the email, I have yet to even get a response. So, if this is how they choose to "rectify" my problems, I feel as though I need to warn fellow fishermen about getting into the same situation that I am in! I am choosing my words correctly. I could really go off here but choose to be respectful.
My comment was in no way directed towards you , What I was suggesting was directly related to what was in the quote I responded to .As fro you , I would contact the person I told you about he will hook you up with someone who can take care of you or do it himself .He's a very busy man and may take a few day's to get back to you but he will .
I bet is Team Otter or Frabill paid enough, Genz would endorse 'em in a heart beat.
What I would really like to know is: Has anyone else purchased this model (fish trap guide w/the bench seats..new model) and what are your thoughts??
Really? No one?
