best 3 man shanty for under 300

[blackbird86]

Whats the best 3 man shanty for under 300?

Was looking at clam bigfoot xl2000 but it supposedly has faulty zippers. Was looking at eskimo fatfish bit it apparently tears easily. Are hub style shanties just crappy to begin with? Shappell, frabill, clam, otter, eskimo, or other?

I own the Shappell 6500 Wide house and love it. Easy up and down. I did buy the Eskimo anchors for it as they are the best out there.

My buddy has the first QF3 and it is in great shape. He fishes 3 or 4 times a week and it has held up great over the years. Get the Eskimo 949i. Thermal is so nice and durable! Look around you can find great deals. In another month they will probably really be on clearance.

Get the Eskimo 949i which is the insulated model- You will love it..

Put a small portable heater in it and you can sit in your t-shirt at -20 below outside and a comfortable 70 degrees inside..

X2 on the 949i if under $300 is the budget.

I reccommend the shappell ice house 6000 or 6500. I have the 6000 and its is easy to set up, take down, and its roomy.

trying to get one from my buddy that sells them. think i read they are 600 denier.
need the room for the spouse. i like the fx100 after the mods and the dx3000, but not room enough for us both and gear.
distributor will have more next week. just about right for ice time too.

Frabill Thermal Outpost is what i rock, fits three kinda tight but fishable. The thermal lining is heavy duty never had a tear and it wont condensate and drip on your head!
