Nice build! I have the X 100 pro thermal. I’m building a storage compartment over the angled part of the sled in the back and a divider on the one side from front of house to back to mount my rods like you did. I chose to go with coroplast instead of HDPE. The coroplast is way lighter than even the 1/8 inch HDPE. Thinking about putting carpet in the rod compartment side. So my question is, did you make the carpet easily removable on each side? We all know how much water gets built up in the bottom of the sled sometimes and I like to dry it out.
Awesome build! Just curious how the top with the heater mounted into it is fastened and where did you run all of your wiring to keep it hidden and out of the way?
Sweet shack. Clam makes some really nice stuff nowadays. I remember way back when their ice armor was pretty piss poor. Now I wear it over Sims gear. Keep slayin em!
Nicely done. I have a Kenai Pro Thermal as well and built it out, a little differently than yours. I really like what you have done here, and I may have to get some of that plastic sheet material to replace the plywood I used in mine, would be much more resilient. Sweet setup. I actually built mine with a buddy heater mounted to the side of the tub in the back and use a flexible duct to go under the battery box and routes to a computer fan mounted on the tub, gives me a forced air down to the ice without putting the buddy heater down on the ice. Since the tub is so deep on the Kenai it works really well, warms the "fishing space" up by at least 30 degrees on a really cold day and helps keep the feet warm.
Speechless just bought one still in box…you took it to another level thanks for sharing…a list of where you purchased your accessories would be much appreciated.

@@justinchinavare3798 Bullet and side lights. I like the 11mm but the 16mm is a nice bright light. The 6mm are really small and hard to tighten but do throw off some good lighting. Hope that helps.
Dude.. that's badass! Clean work... I like it. While watching, I thought... this guy has gotta be an engineer of some sort. Then, I saw the CAD drawing. lol. If you have plans for sale, let me know. I run AutoCad and Solidworks. I just got the Kenai Thermal. Not as nice looking, but it'll work.
Wow! That is awesome! Thanks for sharing. My wife just purchased a Kenai for me for Christmas and I am excited to modify it. I really like what you have done with your shack. I found the list of links for the accessories in another reply and it was easy to locate the Clam items. I’m wondering if you have a detailed drawing or plan with measurements of your center-box build for the heater and tackle boxes. That is genius! Thanks!!!
Hi William, I did the layout in CAD but didn't use it as a template. It really requires build to fit. I fish with three guys and all have a Kenia and all would measure slightly different. Also, you would want to build the "box" to fit your particular flasher, mine is a Marcum Shuttle with a 7" Garmin fish finder and a camera. I did rivet the box together but that was a lot of work and not sure I would do that again! LOL Best of luck, keep it light and enjoy the process.
@@shawnu22 Thanks! I completely understand. I'm considering putting Seadek material in mine instead of carpet. I recently installed it on my Jon Boat and love it better than the carpet I had. Might be an upgrade for your next mod. I did want to ask if you used a full sheet of the HDPE or would a half sheet be sufficient?
Awesome mod!!! If you don't mind telling me, what kind of hinges did you use for the flip up lip??? This is definitely one of the best I've seen period!!!
So when can I drop off my Kenai Thermal with a stack of cash so you can build mine? Lol that’s awesome! I took a lot of screen shots and look forward to trying some of these out.
This thing is amazing I wish I could build like that! I have been looking for those Oznium lights you have pointing down, I've scoured there web site and don't see those anywhere, could you send me a link to them? Thanks man!
Nicely done, might try something similar with mine. That center box is smart
Wow - You nailed it and kept the weight down nice work! Clean as a whistle-Dave Genz would be proud of you.
Thank you Ron

The carpet is all one piece and I have never had an issue with water in the bottom or not drying out.
Awesome job one of the best I've seen 👍
thank You!
Best ice shanty modification video I have seen. Great job, thanks for sharing.
I am very impressed! Fantastic job on the mods.

That is a little more indepth than I can describe, sorry.
Went from a VW to a Lincoln nice job I'm impressed
very well thought out just seeing this
Thank You!
Great job. Starting on a X100. What thickness is the HPDE you used for the cabinet?
1/8" HDPE with 1/4" tops

The best ive seen wow👑👑👑

That is just awesome. WOW

Holy smokes bud this thing is set up! Nice work!
Thank You, it was fun to do.

Sorry, I don't have a plan set, it was really just a concept draft.
@@shawnu22 Your video got me starting to build a 3D model. Maybe do some parametric modeling. lol
Innovative as hell !! You turned this $450 Kenai into a $1000 Kenai
Thank You, that's very nice of you to say.

Nice mods.

Hello, sorry I was on vacation. I ended up using a piano hinge off Amazon.
How did you connect the HDPE sheets together to form the boxes???
I used rivets and brackets
What size circuit breaker did you use?
Great build!!!!
I sized mine to match my total lights, a five amp for me.
Impressive. A bit of overkill, but well done!
Thanks Brett and your right, it is a bit overkill but I have fun making them.
@@shawnu22 I just purchased a Kenai Pro Thermal and appreciate you sharing your ideas. Will definately incorporate some in my build.
amazing job!!!...where/how do I get a "box"???
That was custom built and a pain in the butt! 😄
REALLY NICE an how much weight do you think the build added?
Not sure of the shelter itself but fully loaded minus auger is around 108 pounds, I was shooting for under 100 but I am happy with 108.
So when can I drop off my Kenai Thermal with a stack of cash so you can build mine? Lol that’s awesome! I took a lot of screen shots and look forward to trying some of these out.
Hope you enjoy the build as much as I did.
Grey Job. What are you using the Bus Bar for?
Bus bar is for the ground wires
This thing is amazing I wish I could build like that!
I have been looking for those Oznium lights you have pointing down, I've scoured there web site and don't see those anywhere, could you send me a link to them?
Thanks man!

Cool build!! Anything you'd do differently?
In the past I have used 90mm & 120mm fans and they seem a little quieter
This is the most amazing thing ever. I want make this. How much did everything cost
WAY to much! Honestly I didn't keep track......I didn't want to know. :)
Don't want wife to know lol
How much heavier is it with all your mods???
Loaded with all my gear is 108 pounds
How much for you to make me that same box?
Sorry, just a hobby.
Is that 1/4 inch HDPE or 1/8 inch? Did you use a full sheet?
It's a combination of both 1/8" sides and 1/4" dividers to keep weight down.
👍👍👍👍👍
Thank You!
Really really nice man! Need a how to vid for this one!
Thank you!
