  1. I have one, but have not used it yet. And probably won't as I just ordered a Frabil Recon from Wholesale Sports(Canadian) on sale for $160 plus only $12 shipping. When it arrives I will return the Polar Express.

    I took it out of the carrier once to look it over and now I have a split seam on the carrier. :angry:

    The cover material is only light nylon as well. You get what you pay for. For $55 more I'll take the Frabil.

  2. LOL...uh...its 25" high...so on its side its 25" wide....last time i looked my door was at least 30" wide...should be no probs.

    Its just so fricken big i'm more worried whether my snowmachine will pull the beast....darn it...knew i should've bought that Bearcat!!!!

     

    If your sled won't pull it I'll take it off you cause mine will pull it right purdy like!! :lol:

  3. I used to have one of that vintage (one version older I think), I used it once then pitched it!!! What a piece of junk!!!

    Crappy Resolution, kept cutting out and the fish looked like building blocks.

    Since then I want nothing to do with thier product. It's a shame as the new units look quite capable, it's just I have zero confidence in their products.

    It just proves, at least to me that First Impressions are Everything!!

    If you are looking for an ice fishing machine pick up a flasher (either a portable or make a portable mount for it)

    Here's a pic of mine. :P

    It's a Lowrance 2460 with portable cas and ice adapter. The portable case has been altered to fit a 12 volt sealed lead acid rechargable battery instead of 2 six volt lantern batteries. I have been using this flasher for 15 years now. With a little internet sluthing they can be had used for about the same price (without portable base).

    A portable base is easily made and can be made in a couple of hours.

    Here's a couple of pics of the portable mount I made for my Lowrance LMS 350 so I could use it while guiding on Great Bear Lake. I have been using this since 1995. B)

  4. If only the majority of North Americans got their heads out of their butts years ago and stop buying the imports we would not be in this kind of trouble. 700 more layoffs coming up in January.

     

    It was easy to see that this was coming no mater what the general economie is doing, if you don't support the major industry of your country you're selling out.

     

    Now I'm going to get stuck trying to figure out what import I'll be stuck buying when I'll want to replace my 3 GM vehicules.

     

    To all you import supporters, thank you very much on my part ( to me it's just a vehicle choice ) but think of all those you've left jobless.

     

     

    If the North Americans would stop building junk vehicles that last like the imports, get fuel mileage like the imports, were as nice to drive as the imports, Maybe, just maybe they would sell more vehicles.

     

    I have owned Chevy's, Ford's and Chryslers as well as Honda's and my Honda's have all been much better vehicles than the American's.

     

    And guess what They are built in Canada by Canadians!!!!!!
