Otter

Friend has had this up on rafters a few years and want to sell an no idea what it’s worth.  Tow bar. Runners. Insulated. What should I tell him. A little dirty but great shape.

Wow that's a oldie. Sure its a otter has the otter seat for sure.  I"ve seen some old ones and never this kind from the otters we are all accustomed to. .I have seen black canvas insulated  from another companie that had this style with the same otter name.  I think they were from the Milaca area not for sure the canvas was black on those. They look similar. Its in good shape from the looks of it. I just sold one of my  clam pro's  for $75.00 probably a little cheap but a Dad was buying for his young kid to start ice fishing so I lowered my price and took a loss.  The smile on the kids face when I told the dad if it gets him fishing ill lower the price  was  totally worth the loss.  I would guess in todays market maybe $100-150 they are dang expensive new foe sure. Why don't you buy it from him? You wanted to start fishing eyes more? That's the perfect setup,  plenty roomy to jig and setup a deadstick. hook up some rope lights game on.

Nice job buddy. That's what this game of life we play everyday is all about. 

 

Mr eyeguy, I think that's an old Walrus house. Made prior to the newer Otter houses.

Thx Chris. Won’t be for me cuz too heavy for me to play with. Otter is on the window. He made the seats. I will just use mine when I do go after an eye. Head lamp. As I age the lighter the better.

Looks super heavy alright ......

From the design of the fabric and the poles it looks like my old Canvascraft house except mine was black. They used a lot of Otter parts in them, but used a special fabric I believe was call NorpacR2. Really warm house, but heavy.
