Anyone get any hands on with new models for this year yet? Thoughts, opinions, etc?
I’m looking to move away from my quickfish 3i for the new quickfish 3hd, for the nice increase in footprint and the full size entry door. I really do want to see one in person though, not sure if I’ll wait until the ice show or not.
I’ll be listing my 3i for sale here soon, in the classifieds as well, keep an eye out it’ll be priced to move!
Nothing new for me this season, I have to much crap the way it is. But the 3hd is on sale at scheels right now for 299.
Wasn’t sure if you seen that yet or not.
The HD versions are great the no trip door is great. Mainly for my old man who just has a tough time walking in and out of the fish house.
The full door sounds awesome. I wont be getting anything new since I havent been using the stuff I already have much. My son now works at Scheels so if he decides to buy something for himself he will get an impressive discount. He wanted to get some fancy new bow and I told him to just get my string replaced and use mine. Its pretty close to as fast as the new stuff and shoots very flat.
BC, thanks for the heads up! I’ll check their site and pull the trigger on that this week!
I definitely hear you guys about not using stuff; I re-evaluated before last ice season and got rid of tons of stuff that I wasn’t putting to good use anymore, including my otter cabin. Now that my son is getting to the age where I can take him, I’m ready to upgrade the shack. I’ve owned so many shacks I can’t even believe it when I look back, but I always fall back on my quickfish when I want to maximize size to carry weight ratio.
I also camp in my shack at least 1-2 times every year and the quickfish just barely satisfies the space I’m looking for when putting a cot in it. The 3HD seems to add about 30% floor space so I think it’ll be exactly what I’m looking for.
My buddy camps in his Otter Resort hub quite a bit and let me tell you he does not pack light. He is typically solo when he does this so not sure how it would handle multiple people doing this I would imagine 2 would be fine. I have this same hub and only used it twice. I actually have his old one since he upgraded. Not sure why he bought a new one since this one is insulated, maybe something else changed but I havent been paying attention since I am not looking to add anything.
My 18 year old uses my stuff all the time. So it does get used, just not much by me. I look around my garage and I need a dumpster to just toss stuff that is taking up space. I finally got the boat in storage and have the extra car under the deck for the winter so its not a used car lot outside anymore.
