I’ve been a clam guy , but after fishing with my bud that has an Eskimo ,on the1 man has more room in the tub , doesn’t need a wind pole do to to the design , shirting lays flat all the way round unlike the   
Clam only draw back I see is the weight of the seat with the brace
I took the seats out of my 2 man clam. I use camping chair. A lot lighter.  Sometimes guys pull the material too tight on the back when screwing the back of fabric to the sled. Too tight and front of shanty won't sit on ground. Most common thing I see why front of shanty isn't sitting on ground.

Thanks for the tip Steve. I’ll probably hold off buying one til next fall. Definitely a lot to consider.

Probably my last trip on my local spot down in Putnam County tonight. Maybe I’ll take a ride north before calling it a wrap. Would love to get into some jumbos on Chaumont if the bite turns on. Some pictures from tonight. A few crappies, few yellows, and a few whites in about 2 hours.

Noticed the same thing on my clam Kenai one man, the skirting is a few inches short on the "sides"  front lays on the ice fine but the sides are 3 maybe 4" too short. Is an issue when the wind is up and there is no snow to insulate the outside perimeter. Also at 5' 7" my head hits the roof if I stand up straight, The clam XL legend I see in the specs is 4" taller with 5 more sq.footage of space.

Thank you very much for sharing. That makes things a whole lot more air tight I bet. I'm surprised Clam has not corrected the issue. My tailor's gonna have a heart attack when I walk thru his door with my flip over :o
