FRABILL 1 MAN FLIP OVER NOT BIG ENOUGH ?
« on: Dec 27, 2017, 01:44 PM »
THINKING ABOUT GETTING A TWO MAN FLIPOVER TO ACCOMODATE 1 LARGE MAN  ( 6" 2"----300 LBS. ) WOULD APPRECIATE INPUT/REVIEWS  FROM ANY 2 MAN FLIPOVER OWNERS.

I have a 2 man frabrill flip over.  It has two separate stadium style seats.  I remove the second seat when I am fishing by myself.  It is plenty big for a bigger guy.  Hope that helps

I have the frabil aegis 2200 2 man and I love it. fully insulated and swivel boat seats. the insulation in the walls really stops the wind whip. fished up northern ny 2 years ago -33 degrees and stayed toasty with the little buddy on low

I have a Eskimo evo 1. It has tons of room for a 1 person. Though it isn't really a true flip over... but the design gives way more fishing room compared to a true flip. You have to pop out the front wall and put one support pole in the back. Not a problem if you don't constantly move. It's very manageable to lift though and the seat is very comfortable. Plus it's a little lighter on the pocket book.
Y'all catchin?

I am 6'4" and felt cramped and claustrophobic in my one man flip.  I bought the Aegis Frabill 2 man flip and love it.  Plus if I do have a buddy, there's room for 2.

Not fully insulated.  I wanted to cut down on drag weight  which can be especially helpful on those long drags I sometimes do.

Frabill makes the Recruit ..its their Sentinel/Commando tub turned sideways ...but the Aegis in my opinion would be the best option ...plenty of room.

Had my eye on a two person flip up at field and stream for $379. Believe it was an Eskimo, appeared very roomy.

I can't comment on Frabill huts, but would not hesitate to agree on 2 man flip vs. one man.
I have an Otter Wild 2 man (bench seat) and an older Clam Trap Voyager 2 man (stadium seats)...
The Clam's a much easier drag, with a bit more room.
The Otter is built like a tank, and better in the wind.   :tipup:
If you ever get hit with a bucket of fish, be sure to close your eyes. ;)
