[Phazer icefishing]

Hi just found a Eskimo quickflip 2 red one with 2 seats with back rest for $175. Is there any flaws about these shantys or anything I should know about before buying it.

I don't recall seeing major issues but  check out the Ice Shack Tips section or do a search.  I'm sure someone has a review or two on it.  Keep in mind though like anything else a lot of the opinions regarding it comes down to brand loyalty.

A quick search ...http://www.iceshanty.com/ice_fishing/index.php?topic=106067.0   I remember some members complaining about the clips breaking ...and the cost for shipping from Eskimo was ridiculous .. also the bench seating foam was minimal and tended not to pop back up in the cold ....I think Fish usa carries the clips shipping a lil better too   http://www.fishusa.com/Product/Eskimo-Ice-Shelter-Snap-Pin-Kit   ...get them early ..like hens teeth by mid winter

Ps that link isn't working http://milwaukee.craigslist.org/spo/4521367267.html      ....wish I could come across some craigs list deals ...no deals near me   this may lighten the load some      https://www.redrockstore.com/index.php/ice-fishing-accessories/eskimo-versa-ice-fishing-chair

No planning on buying a new quickfish 3 because I already got a otter sled and don't want to bring 2 sleds out might get it if price drops more tho. Thanks for the help

Watch Glenn's Army and Navy, you can get to their site off the main page here by clicking on their picture, they had some good deals last year.  I got an insulated Fatfish for a good price, got a 10% discount that they has for us on here, and free shipping.

I just checked and ended up paying $256.49 for the insulated Fatfish I949 that I got at Glenn's which included free shipping and a discount code I got from here.

What is the difference between the quickfish 3 or fatfish 767? I can get the quickfish $10-30 dollars cheaper


Thanks

The Fatfish is wider at the bottom (six inches wider and longer) which gives more area to fish, the material is red and black, and two more windows.  The Quickfish is wider in the middle (nine inches wider and longer) to give more elbow room and is twenty seven inches taller at the highest point.  Both have a one year warranty.  Here's a link to the comparison page.
