I have researched them all, Polar Fox hands down is the best. Yes they are more expensive though no comparison to Aluma Lite. You get what you pay for.

With shorter ice seasons the last 20 years, your are into something with a composite skid house pulled with a utility Ski Doo. Mobility and lightness are second to none. This is needed by people that fish. Large heavy wheel houses are used by people that watch tv.

OEM all the way

I have researched pulling a aluminum skid house on the lake. By far the best setup fur pulling is a Ski Doo Skandic, Expedition snowmobile four stroke 20″ or 24″ wide track. You could use it for trail riding also and they start at minus 30F they will go thru deeper snow than a uTV and price wise they are not cheap either.

Tindall, what are your thoughts between a ridge line wheelhouse verses a skid house 6.5X12 or 6.5X14. I could pull it with a Can Am quad 500cc with fire chains or a Ski Doo wide track Skandic rated to pull 1,500#. I thought of having them build a skid house with a ramp door so I could haul it to the lake on a snowmobile trailer with a toy inside. I just do not care for a low carding capacity of their wheelhouse ‘s. Do you think a skid house that size could be pulled in a lake with less than a foot of snow?

Me!!!

That seems reasonable enough! Hardly seems to be an issue between a skid house on a snowmobile trailer versus a wheel house as far as license plate versus permanent sticker cost.

Oh yes they do!!! See a Ski Doo Skandic or Expedition utility sled with 20/24″ track. 2,500# winch and towing capacity of 1,500#

Cheaper than I thought, thanks all for the replies!

I have done a ton of research on this, when eel house versus skid house. Either way you go the wider and longer your house the harder it is to pull down the Hwy or out on the lake. As years go on and the ice is thinner along with a shorter season it baffles me why the houses keep getting bigger every year! The smaller your skid house the easier they are to move. In deeper snow an 8′ wide is too difficult to move, a 6 or 6.5 wide is much better. Remember to just spray foam the interior and do not finish off the inside to save on weight. The best house I’ve seen is the ridge line with plastic lined skis. Their house is beefier which adds 100# But we’ll worth it. The last issue is a row vehicle, a wheel arc is the worst. A tracked machine is much better! The best of course is a 20″ or 2 4″ wide Ski Doo Skandic/ Expedition they have a low heat and will pull 1500# with ease. My friends in Alaska and Canada use them for hauling logs or skid houses in the woods and across the lakes for many miles thru way deeper snow than Minnesota will see.
