Title: Info on Cabela's Deluxe Ice Fishing Shanty
Post by: baginwal on Jan 29, 2003, 10:30 AM

I recently purchased the Cabelas Deluxe Ice Fishing Tent Kit and am in the process assembling it.  Does anyone have this ice shanty?  I was hoping to get some ideas on how durable it is and your means for getting it out on the lake.  I was thinking about simply installing two eyehooks in the plywood and running a rope through it.  I could then pull it like a sled.  Also the plans call for two pieces of 1/2 inch by 60 inch CDX plywood for the floor.  Has anyone covered their floor with carpet, linoleum?  

Thanks and good luck this season!
Walt

One of ny buddies purchased one last week and put it together. Had a pretty nice shanty and you can design the floor plan that suits your particular needs.

Asphalt Kid, I have been out in mine 3 times and love it.  It goes up quickly and is very roomy.  I did end up building a sled to transport it (utilizing an old pair of water ski's).  So far, no problems and it sure beats dragging it.
