I have the shappell dx 4000 you can squeeze four people in there, but only two are going to be fishing.

I agree with James on the 4000, i have the same one, very impossible to with 4. You can get 4 people in it to get warm, thats about it

Do you really need a floor that badly?  Finding a portable, especially a 4 person portable with a floor severely limits you on your options and it will be pricey!  The cost of the shelter isn't all that bad but you're going to pay if you want a floor!  Clam had an excellent line up of shelters as well as Eskimo...

I am going to order the ebay one next paycheck, 97stang, how is the quality?  Floor or no floor I don't think you can beat it for that price.

A great two man I bought a truck tail gate rubber liner to put feet on as it seems to me a full day with feet on ice they get cold or maybe it is in my head.Ice anchors are a major part of these. One other thing is the windows make sure you can get replacements I went with Eskimo it has smaller windows not as much chance of cracking.I have been using mine for three years and still good the only mistake I made is not buying the six man.

The Killzone rig is the same as the Eastman IceCube....no floor, but HUGE inside.  Love mine!

Too bad you are too far away.  My friend is selling an 8'x8' portable.  That thing is HUGE! and cheap too.

cant go wrong with the eskimo quickfish 6! with 4 of us its pretty comfortable fishing, i hear they make an even bigger one now. not too expensive, light, and easy put up take down, takes me less than 1 minute to set mine up by myself.
