   I just picked up a Frabill used one man today.  Like new with hyfax installed.  I purchased a cover at Thorne Bros.  I ended up spending more than I wanted but it's as close to new as you can get.  The one you will be looking at weighs in at about 89lbs.  Problems will be the same as with any non thermal.  Condensation, even with vents it will be a problem.  Check the sled.  Does it come with a hitch?  Hyfax runners?  Are you going to pull it with a sled or a wheeler?  If so I would recommend a cover.  My cover for the single man came to 67$.  I probably could have got one for less but there are so many model styles and changes that we had to go out and try it on to make sure we had the right on.  Good luck.  Remember those sled floors can get pretty thin without runners and I don't know of any good ways to patch a floor.  Good luck.  I have not fished in it yet but I am liking my Frabill.   :happy1:

I think you will be happy.  I've never had hyfax on either of mine and pull then both all over with a Wheeler.  I also have the very first clam 2 man ever made and it still doesn't have holes in the floor

   I tagged the New used Frabill today.  I hope I get to use it this winter.   :cold:
