Thoughts? ft thermal scout or ft Pro

[magicstix]

Have a FT Pro older model but in good working order, tubs mint, poles are good, zipper good, few patches on top.

Bought a Full Thermal Scout 2 years ago was going to sell Pro this winter but am having second thoughts.

Both do same function. Scout has more usable space for packing gear, gets too hot so need to leave door cracked most of the time.

Pro doesn't pack as well but do able, temp control is much easier, more fishing area.

Thoughts on which one you'd keep and sell?  Why?  What's are they worth?

Thanks

I personally love my Scout XL Full Thermal. I like to run&gun and drill a ton of holes. I am normally fishing outside hole hopping around 95% of the time, but on days where it is brutally cold like the Temps we are experiencing this weekend with the polar vortex, the reasons I would choose the Scout Thermal over the Pro:

 

- Ability to run a heater on low/off or having the option to not carry a heater on the ice to conserve weight is a huge plus (even in extreme cold)

- Double stitched canvas/full thermal shield eliminates all condensation so the dripping effect/raining inside no longer exists 

- Flip n Go pole system makes entering and exiting the fish house a breeze. No messing around with extending poles and freezing fingers

- Extra added weight of Thermal Shell canvas helps when towing behind snowmobiles/quads (house doesn't bounce around like lighter fish house models)

 

I feel that I still have plenty of space in my scout for a flasher, dead rod, and a heater. The amount of usable fishing space somewhat surprised me when I first ventured on the ice this season.

I was getting the Pro out the other day to take some pics to sell is when I realized how much I still liked this shack but don't see a point in keeping 2.  I've even gone  as far as writing down pros and cons for each shack. Trying to get others feedback had them in the past and present.

Also like to fish 2 holes most of the time.
