Any feedback...I'm in the market and they are $150 cheaper than the jiffy.

 

Thanks

I've had an eskimo barracuda for about 8 years now. No major troubles other than in REALLY cold (-30) temps we had about 7 years ago it wouldn't start...guys around me with jiffy's had no problem. When the sun warmed things to around -15 it worked. Stalls out once in a while but that may be my gas mixture or some other setting I haven't adjusted. All in all its been ok, not fantastic, but fine.

So you're saying there's no point in you coming ice fishing with the lads and I Roger...

I had a eskimo 3hp 85 cc 10 inch auger for 14 years. Never had a problem with it. I sold it last spring for 300 bucks,I paid 350 for it brand new.Only reason I sold it was my father was selling his brand new still in the box jiffy for the same 300 bucks.

I was just in Canadian Tire and both the jiffy 30 8 inch and eskimo viper are on sale. The difference in price is only 40 bucks. 339 for eskimo and 379 for the jiffy.
