[QUOTE="Retired Educator, post: 336738, member: 3373"] I built my own fish house with trailer frames like those above. In the 6.5 frame my house measures 6.5 - 3" for the walls. I used 2X2's for the walls, which are actually 1.5X1.5 so I'm pretty sure a tracked vehicle would fit. In either case I would insulate with foam from the get-go for stability and that cost will be minor compared to the total. On the other side, the axles on a fish house are not as sturdy as a trailer built for hauling. On a haul trailer the axle extends across the trailer. On a fish house the axles are separate and with heavy weight can have a tendency to bow in over the years.Like a lot of things, I'm not sure there is a perfect solution to your wants. Based on my experience with a 6.5 width I sometimes wish I had gone 8. It wouldn't change the fishing space much but would have allowed for sleeping room if that is a want. [/QUOTE]
