[QUOTE="BBQBluesMan, post: 138166, member: 1007"] I have a 8X17 Ice Castle RV edition and love it. No way I would go 6.5. That extra width is nice. With that said I wanted something I could use all year long for hunting, camping, and of course ice fishing. If I wanted a ice house just to be used for ice fishing, would have probably went with a smaller, lighter house. The ice castles are HEAVY, but pulls just fine with a half ton. Also, I had mine custom built after spending months reading forums on what people recommended. I figured if Im gonna spend the money, I want it built the way I want. Here are a few recommendations. 1) Get the entire house spray foamed. 2) LED lights 3) I had an extra two holes put in my house. The standard for an 8x17 is 6 holes. 4)I had a rubber floor installed instead of carpet. Why anyone would want carpet in a fish house is beyond me haha. Super easy to clean up. [/QUOTE]
