Bob, how does it steer with the motor on the side

Like some of your ideas and will use for my canoe! Thanks!

I enjoyed watching your video. You have some pretty neat ideas.

Very clever Dude.

Love your idea, I have a question, I also read the comments, but didn't find an answer. What kind of paint did you use? Will direct application of paint spray corrode this float? Thanks!

My first time Kayaking and this Kayak held strong. kzbin.infoUgkx4k5UrhC3v_Y4hIEaXLGvHcN5a5aBmZNB The water got pretty rough as a speed boat zipped by me, and the Kayak withstood it (I expected to be capsized). The Ores are very easy to put together, the pump worked beautifully. the seats are a bit hard to sit in after a while (I recommend sitting on the floor). after reading the reviews I was very scared it'd get a hole in it, the material is very strong and durable. The Air valve may need a small Phillips head screwdriver to adjust, other than that, it's well worth the money!(update)I've gone Kayaking in 3 Lakes and 2 rivers totaling about 40 miles. the kayak had two holes and they patched easily and no other problems can't wait for kayaking season this year!

Do you have a link or where you bought the floats

Nice build! I’ve searched but I can’t find those lobster bouys you used for the outriggers anywhere. Can you send me a link to wherever you bought those? Thanks

I have an Ascend 128 T and I like some of your ideas , thankyou for sharing.

Great video-lots of Great ideas & Thanks for sharing, - Tim in MI

Very informative video! Many thanks! One question? How far apart have you set the outriggers?

Hey Bob, I was hoping you'd explain the dolly setup. Do you run a strap up over or are they post in holes? Thanks and I'm figuring you are an engineer?

Watch the Simpsons when homer designed a car .... Bankrupted the company ! My yak weighs half as much ! Go fishing in a swimming pool

I originally had my trolling motor rigged on the side like this, but my kayak tracked on a skew. So, I rigged it onto the rear with a homemade universal joint attached to the end of the steering handle with a pvc extension attached to that that extends to the seat that allows me to turn the motor with a push pull on the pvc extension as well as the capability to control the on/off/speed control by twisting the extension.

thank you Wow you gave me some good ideas 😊👍👍👍👍👍

Excellent message of life. JESUS CHRISt IS GOD.

All those dissimilar metals are gonna give you a bad time dude 🤦🏽‍♂️

See my link to why kayak fishing is much easier and far less costly than buying a small boat and trailer

excellent work. excellent video. I have the same yak, the same set of wheels, the same trolling motor and a few of the same mods. But you're mods are way better than my mods. wanna swap??? 😊

bery nice modificatios ,for the floats I used flag holders you can change the angle of the floats

Love the kayak open deck nice who make it ?

Thanksfor sharing. Very good rundown. My experience is that the pelican style kayak cart does not work well this Ascend FS12T. The kayak is two wide. I had difficulty in putting the cart underneath the boat. eventually had to buy a ascend cart.

Raised my seat 4" on my Ascend 10t and it was tipsy as Hell !!! BE CAREFULL about raising your seat !!!!

Excellent mods, great video. Thank you.

Some people were concerned about overloading the kayak with what I've done. Their comments are hilarious. All loaded I'm 85 to 90 pounds UNDER the kayak capacity of 350 pounds.

If you add a trolling motor your State may require you to register the kayak as a vessel. In FL it's like $35 annually. No big deal just beware because you could get fined if you have a motor without registration. Also most Marine Police require you to have a vest, a Coast Guard approved whistle and a flashlight.

You can get a light weight kayak or jet ski trailer instead of loading on the car roof and when at place that doesn't have trailer parking, disconnect the trailer and put it alongside your car. then use the wheel dolly to take her to the water .. I haven't done the trailer step yet but its a good cheaper way to transport if you need a trailer go lightweight for a few hundred bucks .. or load it on top of the car using bath mats to protect the paint

In USA from 30USD. In EUROPE from 400€...

Bob Cary. Thanks for the great yak upgrades video! Question - what construction adhesive did you use on the floats for your outriggers? How has it held up? Thank you in advance! Tim

Love it great job.

Genius ideas! And on the cheap!

This is just good stuff right here, damn nice job, great use of everyday items and not being the guy to do this and spend 3000 dollars doing it. EXCELLENT job.

I l like how you did your outfitters better than any. Other i've seen on you tube, thanks I'm doing my like yours.

Love it only missing a beer fridge under that seat lol

This is definitely one of the coolest setups Ive seen on this Kayak! Im thinking about buying this kayak myself, would you recommend it?

Great video ive been looking to build my own kayak and this has given me tons of ideas! keep up the great work, i also subscribed!

NICE!! I like It!

Did you glue plugs in?

Reminds me of a Bangka. Many boat designs in the Pacific are equipped with these floaters or outriggers. They call them Proas in remote Oceania, which usually has a single outrigger.

Good job Bob! I like it!

Thanks for your time and sharing ideas.

Thank you so much for the outrigger ideas! I have a Pelican Catch 120 which is supposed to be pretty stable, but I still have a fear of tipping it. I like this idea very much!

" What If " on the outrigger system one aluminum post were to side into a larger post on the other side bring both floats right to the hull ? great video !!!

I liked this a lot, thank you. Perhaps I am missing it, but could you write what the pontoons are and/or where you found them? I know not what they are, nor where to look for them. Again thanks

Several people have asked how I made the outrigger stabilizers. They are 7 inch diameter bullet shaped crab pot floats about 14 inches long. They come with a hole through them. Before glueing them butt to butt I slid PVC tubing through them putting a Tee in the middle upside down with a vertical PVC pipe that connected to a 4 way tee at the top as you see in the picture at the top of the float. I then glued 90 degree elbows on either end of the pipe running through the floats, then a short pipe, and another 90 degree elbow as you see in the picture. The adhesive I used was Home Depot yellow insulation in a can that is adhesive. I used a spakle blade to smooth the adhesive into the joint in the middle where the two ends of the floats butted together. You can use cardboard. From the 4 way Tee in the middle at the top I ran a short pipe into a 90 degree elbow that slides over the 3/4 inch aluminum tube. I drilled all the way through that PCV white elbow and aluminum tube sliding a quick release pull pin into it so I could install the float and release it when done. The aluminum tube slides through brackets and is held in place with a pin that has holes in it that goes thru the 2x6 and a quick release pin slides through one of the holes to hold it in place. Feel free to call 410 three 40 six 954

Lol I love the people that are like i what it to be quiet the sounds will scar the fish all I can say is my best days fishing I have had have all came with my speaker blasting music in the bottom of my sit in side kayak

Thank you for sharing sir, very nice set up 👍👍👍

Love the video. Really interested in the sound deadening using the mat. Are you able to transport with them in? Are they attached in any way? Thanks for your time great boat.

Great video Bob. I have a Hobie proangler12 and I can tell you, your boat as fitted would be 10-12 grand and people would buy. You sir should be the consult for yak companies. Have you thought about getting an anchor stake out pole? I just got one and I love it. I got the 1/2" X 7', but would strongly recommend 3/4" X 9' for strength in current.... getting one asap. I'd like to rig mine up with some of those stabilizers so I can use the boat for future sailing design/build. No reason that 1/2" glass rod couldn't be used as a mast, right? Good luck on the water!
