Looks like a great set up. Looking forward to see you fishing off of it.

yeah but that won't be even power delivery so it would need quad 2.5 for the kill

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!

[@capnstevoanythinggoes]

I liked the "You want some". I'm always modifying my boats to be more of how I use them. I built a small wooden boat once from blueprints. I changed the design lines to accommodate the weight of a motor and made in seat storage with covers instead of just a seat before I built it. i weighed 54 lbs when finished and painted and would hold 3 full grown people, (about 4oo lbs very easily. It was oar powered mostly and I caught everything from Largemouth Bass to a 4.5 ft Hammerhead Shark. One day a Snook, (20 lb, roommate) and a 4.75 ft Tarpon that I lost four ft from the boat after a 25 minute chase down after the fish almost spooled me, with my roommate on the oars. He jumped completely out of the water twice, straight up. I tightened the drag just a bit on my 6000 series spin reel with 17 lb test when the fish was just four feet from the boat and tired. The hook pulled immediately.

Always good to have a backup motor in the garage anyway, just in case something happens to your primary, you’re not stuck on shore awaiting a repair or parts.

[@crazyforfishingsa]

Wow!!! Pretty crazy man! 🙂🎣🎣🤙🏻

If you chamfer the inside of the tops of your pvc rod holders it'll be easier to insert the rods.

Impressive! 🤙🏼

[@harold18659]

With all that stability you could put a all lawn chair( with nylon straps weighs about 2 lbs) and bungees to hold it down. I did this mod for offshore use. Stops the water hitting you as much running waves and easier to stand up and fish, cast or retrieve gear, saves a lot of wear and tear on the body.

[@cgmax9830]

Wow..dual 25 HP's on a yak...that's bad ass ; )

You’re missing a motor. Luv it

[@WoodenBoatGuy]

I seriously considered dual outriggers for mine, but without a clear side it'd be such a pain to land a fish without having to pull them up and over the outrigger.

[@badabling2063]

Put a trampoline on the side you want to fight the fish on.

[@douglasschroeder5398]

Would have been interesting with a big Amberjack and those dual pontoons?

[@bbui949]

How did you mount the Well System for your transducer? I can't seem to get any adhesive to stick to the Hobie plastic. Could you make a video on how you did it?

[@zainuddinayob5624]

is that effective to put balancer to your kayak to prevent from the wave?

[@RYANPOLETIS]

How will you get large fish along side of the boat?

[@TheMindfulHomestead]

Would you look at that bad Larry! All set for Marlin now!

[@ryandevlin4572]

Yass!!

[@bobpatterson5402]

Did you connect the engines to one another so you can steer with one arm? Or do you just lock them straight ahead and use the rudder?

[@johndeaton7968]

I can smell that salty soup from here. But sweet kayak setup👍🏼 off to Cuba

[@Yahoomediaclub]

Your Kayaks are fantastic buddy Learning more and more . Can you buy smaller outriggers ? I only use an 8ft Kayak …⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
