Custom Wheelhouse. WOW !

Like they say, if you’re going to go big!

-J.

That big of a shack and my 16’ has nicer and more comfortable beds than a pullout couch

I wonder If it will ever be used for fishing… those ceilings are massive tall!

All that floor space and I see like 4 holes…

I wonder how many flags and strobe lights it comes with…..🤔

all that money to glamp! i can guarantee the guy who bought this wears $200 bedazzled jeans that his stay at home wife picked out. she probably baits his hook too. at one time i thought i made too much money…….but then i see idiots blowing it like this. WOW is an understatement and not a compliment

Haha. Maybe its not about fishing when you’re in that wheelhouse.

Horribly small and few windows, what a pig.

Why all the haters? (Jealousy?) Dude probably has more money than he knows what to do with….good for him!

2 – 3 weeks a year is all that it could actually be on the ice.

I think there is more to the story like using it as a cabin on wheels to beat the law on property taxes. Just think the vehicle you need to tow it around.

No doubt….sounds like this guy is living his best life. Good for him.

Nicer faucet than what’s in my kitchen.

That will make a sweet “cabin” and ice house for a month or two on LOW (longer season).

Good for whoever bought it.

I did notice that there was like only 4 holes. lol.

Also, bet that thing bottoms out at a lot of landings?

I like that Smokey Hill guy’s reviews. I’ve watched a ton of his videos. He’s got an accent but I can’t place it, Australian? New Zealand?

Far from jealousy. I wouldn’t want to pull that pig let alone fish in it. Yeah may be good for a weekend wit da
boyz or whatever, but when there is more counter space than floor space something is wrong. Except for the high ceilings it looks cramped and less than functional as a fish house or camper. The only thing I like about it is the bathroom is on the far end away from the main area, so I can poop in peace.

But imagine having that thing freeze to the ice.

Oversized to the point of ridiculous for use on ice. Your window would be small around here and likely only far north.

I agree with munchy. I’m all for extravagant and gowdy and people spending their money however the heck they want but that thing just doesn’t look well thought out.

Perhaps it fits the owner perfectly, if that’s the case good for him.

I am guessing South African.

Looking at the layout and lack of holes I am sure that is more of a camping shack versus fishing.
That monstrosity looks like it should have been a fifth wheel.

South Africa if I am not mistaken.

No jealousy here. I could pay cash for a few of those but why would anyone want something like that. He is obviously not buying it to fish.

There’s PoP, asking the important questions again.

Somebody’s got to! I bet that thing looks like the Vegas strip all by itself!

Ah, thanks!

I agree that thing is too big and impractical the way it’s set-up. If it was a toy hauler it would be a completely different story.

I’m sure he’s cutting in more holes himself though. It’s hard to trust someone else to just put them in anywhere. I did all of my own and glad I did.

Here’s our big shack. It’s a 27’+2′ vee with one slide out and a toy hauler door. Works awesome on 15″+ of ice. Less than that I leave it on shore as base camp and take the toys out to fish

We use it every month of the year. I’ve spent well over 30 nights in it since we got in in March.

It’s BIG, but not crazy big lol

looks like your set up reaaly close to some structure behind ya!!!!!!

oh yea nice looking pad!!!!!!!

Yep there was only 8″ of ice on the lake day.

I wasn’t taking the truck and shack out

But they both got the wheeler and Otter to the landing, and gave me a nice place to spend the night on land. Also worth noting, she’s not equipped with strobes or a flag pole

How far do the strobe lights reach out?
The Devil made me do it.

Please do not take offence,, All in fun my friend.

It’s been a while since I’ve looked at the various Ice Castle layouts, but this does seems like way too many counters and cabinets that give up floor space. If you set up chairs by the holes in the kitchen, that’s a pretty cramped place to sit. And I can’t imagine watching the kitchen TV that close up.

I’d also want to see the the couches and how it folds down to a bed. For a house that big, I’d expect a very comfortable bed. The size ice house is for the construction or lawn care guy or realtor who doesn’t work winters and sets up on LOTW for weeks at a time after Christmas.

I do like the extra height. It makes it feel more open and less cramped and more like a traditional camper when used during the summer.
