    Anyone have a Clam Denali that you’ve done some mods to? I just picked up a never used gem and was thinking that if I removed one of the seat configurations and added the seat itself to the back of the other one, a custom table would be sweet. Any ideas?

    I had one last year and thought the tent in general was horrible. I had a problem with the fabric being too tight.

    Don’t get me wrong, I still fish a clam, but cabelas put my Denali in their bargain cave. That thing was horrible. Two fishing side by side was near impossible without flipping the tent and the fabric was so tight neither side would touch the ice.

    Isn’t how tight the fabric is dependent on how tight you pull it when you attach the molding strip around the base when you assemble it ???

    The fabric on the Denali is not attached to the sled at all, because the tent flips over both ways it is just attached to the poles.
    I have one and I like it for the amount of fishable ice in it, but the tent could stand to have 8-12 inches more fabric. It touches the ground, but takes some effort to bank it up.
    I have the two seater, but put in two more small seats, It will fit four pretty well as long as two of them are little people. It fits two really well.
    The sled leaves something to be desired also, its kind of flimsy and the pitch on the front is too steep makes it feel like your pulling a snow plow. I have had several Clams and my next fishhouse is going to be an otter.

    There is one thing you have to do if you have a Denali. They have little plastic levers for pushing in the buttons on the poles. these things come off all the time. Use some duct tape to keep them in the right place and keep them from breaking.
