I have had a Core 6515ST for over 3 years now and I love it. It’s been a great house and I have not had any issues with it since I bought it. The Core Ice Owners groups on Facebook is also pretty good.The only thing to be really aware of when towing it with your wheeler loaded. They like a lot of tongue weight and if you do not load up your gear in to the front of the house when towing the wheeler inside it can get a little too tail heavy. If you have any specific questions please ask away.
That’s great to hear. Thank you. In your opinion do think I would have any issues with it being to tail heavy loading it up with a tracked sportsman 1000? My ATV is already pretty heavy and putting tracks on it will only add to the weight. What do you tow the ice house around with? Do you use tracks or just chains? What layout did you choose and are you happy with your layout? Thanks again
DQM. Thanks so much for all the feedback! This is exactly what im looking for. You’re the 2nd owner that has owned and fished from one for a few years that has given me some great feedback. Both of you have spoken highly about them. This is reassuring me that this is the house I want and will fit my needs. Thanks for taking the time to give the feedback! How much snow have you pulled the house through before it starts struggling? Whats your minimum amount of ice you feel comfortable on given its good ice? Any negative things on the house other than price?
I have also been looking at the Core-Ice ice houses and seriously considering one as a retirement plan in a few years. I have narrowed my dream down to the 6515AT with Package 42. Wheelhouses aren't that common out here in Montana, so threads like these are really helpful.One question I do have is the wheeled versus wheel/skid hybrid. What advantage do the skids provide? We typically don't have a lot of snow on the ice here.
From what I was told - Skids spread out the weight when sitting on the ice, and make it easier to pull thru the snow.
