Comparing the Quality Differences of The Shappell and The Eskimo i Series Ice Hub Shelters

[@sarahschuette960]

Eskimo! 😁 Now if my hubby would give me a tour and take me out we will be in business! Although I always out-fish him!

[@DeanoOutDoors]

Eskimo is a very nice Hub. Now for the "other hub", I bet if you were to promise him you'll let him catch more fish, he'll take you!

Great informative video. Thanks.

[@DeanoOutDoors]

Glad it was helpful!

Got my Eskimo Fatfish 949, like new from someone for $60. Works great. Roomier than these in the video Thanks for the video.

[@DeanoOutDoors]

Wow, great deal on that hub! Your welcome.

The 6500 is sneakingly on sale for 199 at home depot right now. Price isn't marked in the stores. Good deal.

[@DeanoOutDoors]

That is a great price! Thanks.

I have the wide house 5500 and I really like it except for one big problem. The fabric is so tight to the hubs that the doors don't zipper all the way up, and it is very tough to set up. The 6500 looks like it doesn't have that problem.

[@DeanoOutDoors]

The first couple times setting up the 6500, the door was very tough to get zippered fully. But it has since gotten better. I think the fabric finally stretched enough. Hopefully yours will do the same.

Of course the shappell 650 is bigger than the Eskimo 3i which the 650 would have more windows because it’s bigger! You should have compared the Eskimo 650 XD to have a better comparison apples to oranges

[@DeanoOutDoors]

You are correct. We did not have the 650XD at the time, but I was trying to compare the build quality of both hubs more then the specs of them. Thanks for your input.
