``My husband and I have been looking for a basic, light weight well-built aluminum skid house for a long time. We were not happy with our current skid house different manufacturer because the skis were not engineered to withstand actual long-term use. When we heard about the Ambush ice houses from a fishing guide friend of ours (Steve Carney), we jumped on buying one of the Stykers because it met our needs and at a reasonable price. Amazing stealth skids with just the right clearance. We called up one of the dealers who was about an hour away and he delivered it, what seemed to be the same day.... and just before a weekend of fishing with some of our clients! You will see us slaying fish in our Stryker on the North End of Big Stone Lake, South Dakota! We will send you some pics after we add a few personal touches.

Thanks for your engineering Ambush Team!``

``Absolutely love fishing in an Ambush skid house. Built to last and the layout is perfect allowing plenty of room for me to fish (I'm 6'5``) as well as store all the items that I need.``
