Liked it alot except after using it last year half dozen times and 3 this year,I found it a bit cramped for me.Anyway would like to replace it with the eskimo qick-flip ll .At mc in traverse its selling for 289, but there sold out! BB can possibly get one shipped through his sources if there not out also.Any chance someone knows were I can get one ASAP.Thanks for your help guys...

Have you tried Jay's in Gaylord? 1-989-705-1339, their prices aren't the greatest but it might be worth a shot

Gary,

check with The Country Store (http://www.tc-store.com/). They're in Wisconsin I believe. They carry Eskimo and I bought my auger through them last season and they were reasonable and fast with the shipping.

When you get to the home page, just click enter. Then down the left edge of the page select "Eskimo". Then a page with all of their Eskimo products will come up. Just select "Ice Shelters" and you're all set.

Good luck !

Oh, by the way....

I had an Eskimo that I bought the year before last. It is a VERY NICE shanty. I really liked the heavy canvas type material they use for the shell. The only reason that I sold it was because it was too long to fit in the bed of my truck. I replaced it with a Frabill Ultralight this year. I haven't had a chance to use it yet so I don't know how it's going to work. If it is too small, I'm going to probably replace it with an Eskimo Quik-Flip. They are very nice but I just didn't want to spend the extra $$ this year. Maybe next year if this U/L doesn't work out for me. :)

If I make a road trip to franks Would have to break `er in fishing somewere around linwood.Steel and browns at lexington,or `eyes in the bay, i`m open for suggestion`s. Thanks again.

Well , everyone is sold out of the quick flip ll`s. I ended up with the Frabill xl twin. Will be putting it together in the morning, cant wait to use it! A bit heavier, but it should work out just fine. My honey said it's an early birthday present .Wow what a gal. I sure better bring some fish home now for sure! LOL. Know pressure. Anyone have one of these? How do you like yours??
