Pretty neat operation and modification that I may come back and do. In my Tracker PT-175, I insulated the factory cooler with 1" styrofoam around the sides and lid. I used Great Foam where ever else I could not reach, as well as the adhesive for the foam. I also added styrofoam on the lid of my live well to extend the life of my catch. All mods. made a great improvement.

I have owned 3 pro Angler 14's and 2 outback and 3 wilderness kayaks and by far the Lynx is my favorite platform for fishing, it is worth the money, fast, light and turns on a dime. I do run a power pole and a 7 inch lowrance dept finder with maps and a hobie crate with a dry bag in side and carry 4-6 rods all the time with a fish bag on the front and put 2 8x14 plano boxes under my seat, I got 2 pocket organizers on both sides of my seat, which hold my fish sent and couple rags. also have seat raisers and removed both straps that were usless and added a large cup holder where the right handle was., I woulden't trade my setup for no other kayak on the market today, I love this thing for fishing on any water fresh or salt, I have caught hundreds of fish with it in the last 2 years., don't worrie about the scratchs on the bottom, there are 4-5 layers, this kayak is unsinkable, never worrie about a rain storm ao large waves, you won't regret buying one, I keep it fully loaded and slide it in to the back of my ford ranger and I can launch just about anywhere i can get my truck to. you can peddle this kayak all day at a low med speed with out getting tired, because it sits on top of the water not in the water.

GREAT video!! QUESTION: where and how is the drain connected? Is there a drain line that goes all the way thru the hull?? If so, does the cooler take on water while under way? The live wells are famous for water coming in.... is this Mod the same? Probably a good idea to add a part 2 and address drainage.
@BlueSummitOutdoors 2 ай бұрын
It drains the same way as the factory cooler, it just goes into the bilge. So no drain lines or anything.

I have this kayak. A lot more expensive now. But I absolutely love it. I have a 100ah lithium iron battery from Renogy with the Bluetooth interface. Full throttle I can go about 3 hours. But you never do that. I do full throttle to where I want to get to. Then I slow it down. I get a whole day out of it with battery to spare. It is wonderful both for fishing and photography. It’s so quiet what you want to photograph doesn’t fly or run away. And you can get in anywhere. I did discover you can leave that rear lock on the motor unlocked. Then if you hit something it just pops up and pops the kill switch while it does it. It does have a fair amount of draft due to the skeg on the motor. So on the shallows I just pop the motor and paddle. It paddles fairly well. You would not want to paddle it a long distance.

@BlueSummitOutdoors 7 ай бұрын
@RadReelingFishing yea I love the old towns but they are heavy, so I went the inflatable route. When I say fragile this is what I mean. I had the lynx on my garage concrete floor, and sat in the seat to rig it up and see where I wanted to put some things. Just sitting in the seat on a concrete floor creased the hull underneath. I could see a stress crease where the plastic looked like it had been bent and discolored. The BOTE inflatable seems to be more durable oddly enough.

Very tasteful hack. I don't have this boat, but on my bass tracker, I end up using 48 quart cooler and use it as a live well as well as a cooler. I did the exact same thing with the phone insulating top and that thing is better than the live well that comes on the boat.
