Thanks for the info, how does it pull in the snow? Have you done any other mods or use a smitty sled?
Ignore if you are set on the nanook. But Eskimo just came out with the Sierra Thermal flip over which is fairly similar if you wanted another option to look at. MN Bassfisher here had a post about it, I wasn't too sure about it at first but saw it briefly in person and am thinking it will be my next shelter. I have fished out of a friends nanook and it isn't bad, the sierra is just a tad taller. https://www.iceshanty.com/ice_fishing/index.php?topic=347784.msg3703319#msg3703319
Ok, a bit of a curveballl. While debating which way to go with my purchase I came a across the frabill aegis 2110. It is only 60 lbs and has an insulated food and the seats slide. I have had frabill shantys in the past not their flips however and never any real issues, just curious if anyone has any experience with their flipovers. I like the square poles with eskimo as that seems like a better system compared to the round poles from what I have seen. It looks like the sled is only 7" deep, is that common on the flips? Any experience with the frabill flips?
I have the clam Nanook and I am extremely pleased with it. I'll probably add runners for it, though it pull really easy in the snow.
with out seeing it, what about cutting them shorter or moving them over to a different rail.
i have no idea what it all looks like still, so here are some more ideas to run past you.probably can't put the tow bar on top of the hy-fax? maybe reshape the hy-fax where the bars would sit on it with a right angle grinder?if the hy-fax is cut close to the bars/bracket it shouldn't get caught. you could use adhesive before bolting them. at least at the curved end.
I cant see any reason not to put the tow bar bracket over the runners....
