MyFishFinder.com Just like iceshanty but warmer
I'm no engineer, but I'd think that the wider it is, the harder it will be to turn.
I would keep the weight to the rear, and as Hardwater said make sure your rope is on the long side. Helps a lot to be able to control the sled from behind when going downhill.
If you put a couple eyebolts on the back you can shorten rope up and just move it to the back for going down hill.
Thanks everyone! I’m going to start with 40” crossbars. An actual measurement of the 949i packed necessitates the extra width. If it is too difficult to turn, I will just have to cut them down.Another question…….Does adding a plywood platform between the crossbars help or hinder the loading/unloading of a flip-over?
Best thing I evah made...thanks Smitty....pulls a lot of weight like butter...
I'm interested in building one for the new nanook. How long of skis should I be shooting for if my sled is in the 60" range?
Has anybody ever tried the narrow Cross-Country type skis on a Smitty? They would have even less friction.
Not recommended ..
This thread has so.e great pictures and reads https://www.iceshanty.com/ice_fishing/index.php?topic=103927.0I built 3 thus far all my questions ..w/o asking were on this thread.

Thank you for the info. I can put 6 1/2' skis in the back of my SUV.
