RE: Best climbing stand for a fatboy??
A couple months ago I bought a Gunslinger. They have a 250 pound and 350 pound model. You can write or call for a free brochure.I' ve only tried it on a couple of my trees but seems to be strong,holds the tree well,easy to climb with.I bought the 350 weight capacity. They do come unpainted.I weigh 260 pounds and it gives me plenty of room.

I HAVE TRACKED DOWN THE # FOR THE " TROPH WHITETAIL" CLIMBER AND THEY ARE NO LONGER IN BUSINESS.
BUT I DID FIND THE SAME STAND AVAILABLE FROM ANOTHER DEALER. ITS UNDER A DIFFERENT NAME BUT IS A SPITTING IMAGE. EASILY THE MOST STRUDY STAND MADE AND THICK PADS RATHER THAN MESH SEATS, YOU CAN SIT IN THIS SUCKER ALL DAY, AND YOU CAN GET COMFORTABLE WITHOUT FALLING OUT OF IT. ONLY DRAWBACK IS ITS A LITTLE HEAVY 22-27LBS DEPENDING ON THE MODEL, AND I GOT A FEELING ITS GOING TO BE A LITTLE PRICEY. I DONT HAVE PICTURE I CAN POST, DEALER HAD TO MAIL ME ONE, BUT I CAN GIVE YOU THEIR CONTACT INFO. IF YOU DONT MIND SPENDING AROUND $250 ,AND YOUR IN GOOD ENOUGH SHAPE TO CARRY IT, YOU PROBABLY WANT TO LOOK AT THIS ONE.
IF YOUR INTERESTED LET ME KNOW AND ILL FORWARD THE DEALERS INFO.

I' m 6' 4" 290 lbs and use API Grand Slam Magnum Supreme. Bit on the heavy side, but easy to set up and super comfortable.

I' m another proud user of the API Grand Slam Magnum Supreme. It works well being 280lbs.

Summit Goliath hands down, much easier to hook up to the tree and very stable, no pins or bolts to have to hit the hole on before daylight, the cables are rigid and don' t flop around like an API.
