That's sick. Is this a one off thing or are you planning on selling these?

[fishlab2010]

idea is to build more it was all designed using cad modelling so it can be replicated we will see how sincere people are but as u can imagine its not going to be real cheap with the quality that comes with aluminum

Now that is one hot looking shack/palace. Does it only have 2 holes in the floor? and what size truck box does it fit?

[Lupincaster]

the captains chairs are on swivel receivers so they unplug and go in another spot across from bench then a second folding bunk lifts and then two bunks

only two holes since most only a two man unit and more holes is more opportunity for draft although the catch cover sleeves seal it to ice very well

I only wanted two holes as its set up for two occupants and its double door design is for tip up outside it is 8 ft long so it will fit almost any full size truck

[Rumtan]

Have you weighed it? It looks fantastic tho, great job.

[waterninja]

wow! that is one great looking shack. how do you get it on and off your truck? can 2 men lift/slide it on and off?
you should be very proud of this beauty.

[pikeslayer22]

Awsome...but looks like its going to be pretty cost prohibitive for the average fisherman

[Ken07AOVette]

Very nice, if it had a slot hole it would be perfect.

[Zip-in-Z]

Nice shed .... the Mrs. was wondering if the following option was available ?

weighs in at 330 lb dry so add gear its getting heavy deep cycle battery is a lot
but I use a trailer and I tow it with my tracked machine

[wellpastcold]

It is awesome. I thought it might work out better to trailer it too. Nice work !

[kinwahkly]

want one.

[curtz]

wow, nice job that is awesome.

[walleyetis]

That is sweet!!! How much $$$$ do you have into that, if you don't mind me asking.

[Tomcatchesallthefish]

Holy smokes man, beautiful home.

[fishlab2010]

well prototypes are a bit more than production
with all the electrics, furnace and toys
I probably could have bought a quad lol
but its made to last a lifetime and I enjoy doing it

[wellpastcold]

Having only seen a few pictures, I must say I am intrigued. I would definitely like more info if you pursue making them. Nice job!
