Looking to get a 1-man flipover this year for the days when I go out alone (Frabill Trekker DLX @ 95lbs is getting a bit much). I’ve seen the Clam Kenai Pro Thermal in person, seems like a great set up for $350 (then add the runner kit and cover). I have also read time and time again that Otter makes the best around. Looking at the Otter line up, the XT hideout is the 1 man flipover for $499 (the add the runner kit and cover). I see that the Otter gives 1sq more ice coverage for fishing (might make a 2nd hole easier) and weighs 10lb more, but there seems to be a big difference in price. I have not seen the Otter in person, has anyone done a side by side comparison?
Thanks
