Question King fisher ice tent reviews

Hey I found a king fisher 4 man tent for sale on kijiji for 125$ and was used lightly for one season. Just wondering what everyone thinks of them or if I should hold out for a bit of a better one?
Any input would be great. I plan on getting out lots on the hardwater this season so durability is important

That's the blue one from Costco, correct? I've seen a couple of those in action and I've heard they're pretty decent. Just avoid the orange "Fish Inn" tents, as they tended to have a lot of problems.

I picked one up last year. The blue one. Used all year and it was great. The black scraped off on the inside a bit but didn't bother me. Good windows and zipper on door was good too.

I got one last year at Costco, worked great all of last season!! No issues with it. You might want to just wait an grab a new one because I THINK they were only $150 new. And then you could return it.

Ya that's kind of what I was thinking but it's definatly the 3 or 4 man...I think I'll just hold out a couple months and try to find them in the store if they are only 20 ish bucks more brand new and than I can return it if need be.
