Flambeau Kayak Crate Mods - Tuff Krate Premium

[@randypooley4811]

Damn bro that’s the sickest crate hack I’ve ever seen! Awesome thank you for sharing

[@scottmiller9213]

Nice work. I just received mine and have incorporated several of your mods. Love the ideas of the shelf liner and the paracord to keep the top from flopping over. I have a pedal drive with a rudder so I had to install rubber feet on the bottom to keep it off the rudder guide. Also added a couple of zip ties to the front and hooked a couple of canvas tool pouches from Home Depot to hold pliers, fish grips etc. I also sometimes use cut bait so I put a Dollar Tree cutting board in the bungees on the underside of the top lid that I can use on the top of the crate when needed.

[@night17hawk]

Sweet! With the crate forward facing those bags would be perfect. I almost ordered some, but I still had room inside. That cutting board idea is great too! Gonna have to borrow that idea methinks. Thank you!! Great comment!

[@RamonOutdoors]

Dude this is exactly what I'm looking for. Awesome set up!

[@glxbe]

I had a bad first impression with this video because you started out with things I thought were trivial or nitpicky but it’s actually a really good and well thought out presentation and setup. If you’re that detailed with everything I think you’ll take off

[@night17hawk]

I'm glad you watched past the first part. Thanks for your input!

[@GregBrittain]

Great video! I got one of these for Christmas and will definitely be doing a lot of these mods

Great Job my Friend happy Catching big Ol'fish

[@ryan81810]

Awesome modifications man! Gonna use your ideas. Just got mine in the mail today

[@night17hawk]

Thanks! I haven't regretted any of the mods. I did go ahead and give the crate a paint job. Huge improvement.

[@ryan81810]

This was an amazing video - you are very innovative!! Question for you, can you show what method you use to secure this down to your kayak?

[@rabidgp]

Good job, just assembling mine.

[@MrBassTV]

Great review

[@danareed1656]

great ideas

[@kennythao9558]

How do y’all feed the line through the too to make it look that way?

[@uuncensored]

Great mods

[@fishingismydrug1]

Thank you for sharing! Great ideas. How do you like the Titan and the Titan boxes?

[@night17hawk]

Got rid of it. It was the diesel motor titan. Spent WAY too much time in the shop. The boxes were a good idea, but poorly made. I ended up taking those out shortly after this video. I'm glad I had it, I will now know not to bother with that style storage.

[@fishingismydrug1]

@@night17hawk Yes, that diesel was an issue! I have a gas Titan, love it. Thinking about those style boxes. Made some bed drawers for it. Took them out. Great concept, definitely see a use for them, just not for me. Thank you very much for the reply!

[@TheOilfieldTrashMWD]

What manufacturers tackle boxes and size are you using in the bottom section?

[@DavidjYbanez]

You are bad ass!

[@livingwordchurchsanantonio7462]

Quick question. Would a trolling motor battery fit in the bottom portion? Thanks

[@night17hawk]

Not the way I have it setup, but without dividers, yes!

[@night17hawk]

Hmmmmm... A smaller battery would. I pictured a car battery.

[@cadepatrick1335]

What size boxes are in the tuff krate?

[@TylerGoesFishing]

really cool

[@olenhulett7841]

Simple and efficient. Smart. What tackle boxes are you using?

[@night17hawk]

Lure Lock! Love them.

[@nategreenaway7608]

Some great stuff here, thx for sharing. Would you mind letting me know what type of wood you made the dividers with?

[@night17hawk]

I used 1/4" leuon. It's basically a very thin form of plywood. (pronounced loo-on) It is not a specific species of wood. Available at most stores that sell plywood.

[@nategreenaway7608]

@@night17hawk great. Thx for the clarification, and you sprayed the wood with what type of spray paint?

[@night17hawk]

@@nategreenaway7608 I used Rust-Oleum exterior paint there is a wide variety of color options.

[@mikeweidert634]

What soft binder are you using? Thanks, Mk

[@aaron5211]

What size boxes are those

[@night17hawk]

They are the 3600 size

[@aaron5211]

How many could you for that way you think

[@night17hawk]

You could easily fit six with room for another seventh slot with 1/4 inch dividers. Would that seventh slot fit another box? That would depend on the material you use to divide them, and how tight you can arrange them inside. These boxes don't sit high in the box, so there would also be room for another larger 3700 box on top of them. So theoretically? Up to eight. But functionally I would say six, and a seventh slot for tall or leashed stuff.

[@pigjigs247]

What sizes boxes did you use?

[@night17hawk]

3600
