Here in Southwest ohio we are having the best scenario possible, RAIN!! Which should get rid of any snow on the lakes and freeze up real good next couple of days

I will check with some of my buddies and see if any of them have a fishtrap pro. I will ge back with you. It makes it alot easier and better if I have one here when I build them.

I am asking $200, That is for powder coated ones with Hyfax on the skis. These are made from 16 guage 1"X1" square tubing and are very rugged so they can be pulled behind a machine if you like. If someone would like a raw steel one to paint or powder coated themselves I would ask $150. These are custom fit to your sled so measurements from you may be required if I dont have access to one to measure.

I could sell plans but it is more of a complicated build than it looks. I spent quite a bit of time engineering and building jigs to build these. They would be pretty difficult to build off of plans.
 
 I made up a generic sled last year with the same type skis and it pulls across snow covered ice with very little effort, and that was with all my gear, my buddies gear and everything out of his shanty including the 20+ pound seat and rail system, I was able to glide right along and he was still struggling with an empty shanty.
 I see a lot of people (including me) put snow skis on sleds trying to get them to float on top of the snow, that is alright as long as it is a wet snow but with a drier snow they still want to sink and drag to some extent. the Idea behind my skis is to get them to the ice, that is where you want them, no friction.

This is something I just came up with the last couple of days. I have thoughts of building them for sale, but I was waiting to see what kind of interest there might be in them. One problem I may have is they are sort of shanty specific. This one is the prototype which is painted but I would want to have them powdercoated for longevity.

I am still thinking of a price for them.

For anyone that has pulled a 100+ pound shanty through snow you know what this is for. It lifts the shanty 7" above the ice and when you get to your destination it drops the sled onto the ice in a second. It also folds up for easy transportation.
Check it out:
