You could probably put spacers under the plates for your gear tracks so you can use the Plano boxes

@12:03.....Just put spacer blocks under the mount where it attaches to the boat! This will lift the mount and you can fit your box.

I have the same kayak but I have the minn kota motor instead of pedals. I feel in love with my old town. It’s definitely awesome! I got it a few months ago. The guy barely took it out. He brought it brand new. I’m not sure if the motor floats. I usually don’t use the scupper plugs. It’s been hot. One part of me kinda wish I would have got the peddles. But I just turn the button and go. It’s pretty good to set back and cruise. I live on the beach so that’s a big plus. And I got the filling floor also. I’ve noticed it’s heavy but when I get it in the water it was all worth it 😂.

Good video,...I was ready to upgrade from my pelican 120, and was considering a old town sportsman, but you totally sold me on the predator, thanks, happy fishing!

On that gear plare issue you could just make some spacers to raise them up the 1/2" you need to fit those plano boxes.

Great yak. I've had mine for about 5 months and love it. Only downside is propeller is not as weed less as I hoped it to be. Finding that I have to lift and clear it off often in the shallows, but I'm not complaining though 😂

Just a thought, but you should be able to fit those Plano boxes into the side areas if you raise the plates. All you need to do is purchase some bushings that are thick enough to raise it just enough to get the box in there. The cost of longer screws and the bushings needed to do that should be relatively inexpensive. The only issue I see from that is the fact that the plate would no longer be flush with the rest of the deck.

rather than cutting you mounting boards to fit your plano boxes, unscrew the mounting boards and raise them up with a couple blocks and reinstall with longer screws. Won't be flush with the hull but it may work for you without having to cut anything.

Good video. I bought my PDL at a Black Friday sale. $420 off. Couldn't resist. Concerning the Plano boxes not fitting, I store mine under the seat. I can get 3 under there depending on size. Put a rubber mat down to help with noise. I started using mine in early April and have been on the water a couple dozen times. I use a yakima rack n roll trailer and a c-tug kayak cart to move it around. It's a beast and I'm 6' 3" 240lbs. Do you car top? My only minor complaint is the flush mount rod holders fill with water so I replaced them with holders that have a cover. I would say the biggest draw back the PDL is transport.
@BillsCatch22
@BillsCatch22 7 жыл бұрын
Thanks! Thats a great price! I ended up getting $800 off. That's a great tip for the plano boxes, I keep a larger container under neath for my plastics and bulkier tackle. I transport in the bed of my truck with a bed extender. I agree on the rod holders. It's a minor annoyance, but for this kind of $, they should have thought of that. Great input!

Nice informative somewhat LOL unbiased review :-) To fit the Plano 3600, take a jig saw and a dremel tool and cut out the area that gets in the way, this way you keep the mount panels flush and can easily take in/out and also add a small bungee to secure them.
