Ocean Kayak

Travis lets see some pics when you are done. Is it an elevated swivel seat, and what size motor? I think a Minn Kota Riptide 80lb thrust would be great, but the weight of the battery would suck.

Well back to the drawing board. By the time I put the final battery in there for my 36 volt trolling motor there was no room for my tackle bag and cooler.

Dang 8ft kayaks...

Seriously guys how do you fish out of these things. It took me 45 mins to get the seat clipped in a comfortable.

Now I need a clever way to attach a rod holder without drilling holes since it isn't mine.

This is what I am working with:




txnative, If I can get it pretty comfortable for me and able to carry flyrod plus another rod, I will see you in this instead.

We'll see still a few days to mess with it.

I fish out of something similar. The scupper holes will fit a rod nicely. As to putting a rod holder on without drilling, maybe some adhesive?

That thing looks so small and uncomfortable. If you end up trying it, and not liking it let me know and I'll put you in a fishing kayak. If you want I'll let you try something of mine out, as long as I'm with you. It's a much different experience if you are comfortable.
