Thanks NSFisher, Smitty Sled

Jr and I built a sled....thanks for the pics Craiger.....bring on the ice
Greg

How wide did you build your? I just build one 33" wide for stability but I have a ton of room.

You wont regret it. Wider is better imo. I like to lay my hut and auger on the sides but built mine to narrow so i lay the auger on top of the hut. 😭

Hey Greg, not a problem.
The sled looks great, I hope they work as well as advertised. I don't even have snow in Miss. Or I would take it outside and compare the pull.
Safe ice can't come soon enough.

Lookin good

I built mine wide aswell, finally got to put it to the test today

Looks good, I am guessing it pulled fine on that glare ice? I see you made it quite wide, made mine 30" W. My new clam is almost 6' long so I will put it on top of my with more weight to the rear.

I think its 36W , Pulled great on the hard snow too . I can see myself putting the hut on top of the tote when the snow is deep

Anyone else build a smitty this year?

Thanks for the feedback

And mine is 27 inches wide (between center lines of the skis) or 38 inches wide (length of the top crossbars), and 10 inches tall:

So I'm starting to build mine, but now I'm wondering if I should take back my pelican sled, is there really any reason to have one of you use a smitty sled?

Depends, i knew i wanted something with a lid and didnt want to spend much . The big 189L tub sells at walmart for 19.99.

I have read some storys where peoples smittys have buckled out on the ice , if that happens at least youd still have a sled to get back. I carry a hammer and a dozen nails just in case

I bought a pelican just to put on top. Also if your Smitty ever breaks, you still have the Pelican to pull your gear on or off the ice.

Looks like I need one of these. Nice builds guys.
Cheers!

Saves a lot of time loading all the gear into the sled rather than tieing everything down individually..
Just my thought but if you didn't have much to haul out . In my case I take everything out I can haul cause I always find if I don't the one thing I didn't take is the one thing I need.. Lol
I guess the answer is up to you and what your hauling out...

Looks like you might not get much use this year Mark, maybe a summer project 😱
Hopefully our local lakes get some ice this year, please let me know if you hear they do, dying to try out both my hut and my sled.
