Thanks Steve. There have been more modifications, but no new pics. It's tucked away for the winter right now.
BTW; I fish this strictly in the salt for those wondering. Very stable and it's a blast when fish tow you around. It's crazy when you're sitting in the middle of a feeding blitz of Stripers or Bluefish and you're right down there at water level with them slapping the sides of the hull. Very relaxing on calm early mornings or evenings throwing topwater lures.:nice:

Chum, what do you do with the fish when you catch a keeper?

chumbucket 02-11-2008 03:12 PM

Right in your lap silly. :you:

I will usually stuff it in the forward hatch or tie onto a stringer a leave it in the water.

Down here thepedal powered KAYAK's have become fairly popular on the flats. Wouldn't work to well for my FAT A$$ though.

Man, ya'll make my kayak look like crap, bet those cost more than I paid for the V. I've got some work cut out for me on this one, got about two or three weeks before the trout bite is back on, spot tails are still skittish right now, won't be long and its time for flounder

Ya'll know any one that got a crate to work on a scrambler, they made the rear compartment about 1" too narrow for a milk crate. I would like to see some more pics of rigged kayaks

Guess its time to start a new thread

Never been on one, but a friend of mine owns a kayak shop--does that count? lol He rents those same models to tourists on Tybee Island. I think they would be cool to use to get into those backwaters where no one else can go.

We'll have to have Valiant start a kayaking forum. :sun:
nice little ride splinter.

Spare; I've seen guys make up some legs out of 3/4" PVC pipe to raise the crate up high enough to clear the well. Just use plastic cable ties to connect to the crate.
Go to www.kayakfishingstuff.com lots of pics and ideas. Some write ups to read. It'll keep you busy for quite some time.

Got one and enjoy it so much that I bought a canoe.
spare, I can't find any useful info on the racks I've got. All I know is they came from the Jeep dealer.
Like most things, they weren't made by Jeep but a company made them for Chrysler.
