I finally built my kayak livewell system that I have been wanting to do for a long time. And thanks to shoreline scavenging finds, I did it for basically free.

Of all the flotsam and jetsam you could find floating out there, that can be used for many things and is a great find Steve. 👍

[@TheDomin8rr]

Strong work! I did a similar thing on my TI... 2 4x8 lifetime non-foldable card tables from sam's, took off the metal frames & legs & used 3 1&1/4" wooden dowels length wise on each held on with parachute cord to keep them rigid from flexing when I load them up.

[@FrankLadd]

What a cool find! Lots of multihulls have a side platform. For a rig like yours I see most folks using an aluminum stadium bench about 7 or 8 feet long. A five gallon bucket cut into quarters with make good pieces to glue or screw in to round out the corners of your chest and the bait will last longer. And if you attach the angle iron underneath by bolting it to the cross pieces it will be even more rigid. You will have to make the angle shorter to fit between the cross bars. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@jllanesphoto]

Strap handles to the tube base to secure the cooler with bungees. Very nice !!!

[@michaelbrashear6308]

You can rip a piece of that deck board down a couple inches wide and screw that to the side of the platform, it will stiffen it up and keep it from flopping around

[@bretburt7317]

A new casting deck...awesome!

[@RadReelingFishing]

Such a cool improvement! Fly fishing platform!

[@anthonyvespia6662]

You gotta love the things Steve finds out there. He's going to score his Yetti cooler, one of these trips. 😎 🎣

[@Firemedicbill911]

Steve, I happen to have connections to a large junkyard and can provide you with a stainless steel top for your counter, just post the size you need when you fiqure it out and I'll get it to a public location where you can pick it up!

[@mauritobias8759]

It's called ""potential"" I have a shed full of piece's and left overs from other projects... The angle iron you kept from the mattress ...the ice chests all have ""POTENTIAL"".. SO YOU KEPT THEM 👍 YOUR NOT A HOARDER 👍 YOUR A GREAT FISHERMAN 🤙🤙🤙

[@Firemedicbill911]

That is awesome Steve! I do the same thiing, first is I can use it I di if nit its taking trash out of our waterways! Good job brother!

[@karenuntz6514]

Hey! Free is better than cheap any day! Think of it as positive recycling. 😊

[@Qcefer]

You are ABSOLUTELY a hoader sir! Nothing wrong with it, just calling it as I see it. 🙂

[@brunocauin]

Thats awesome Steve! Looking forward to the maiden voyage with the live bait!!!

[@chonrubio7277]

Hey Steve! Thats an awesome find right there! Makes an excellent standing platform for casting for your your rig! Wow! I love it!

[@papary7717]

Awesome Steve! I save items I find as well, has saved me many times. Trick is ‘know what to save’.

[@redlock4004]

Now that you have the platform in place there are lots of things that you can do. You mentioned height. You could use a collapsible step stool, ladder or raised platform with similar anchor points as your live well. It could be made more steady than standing on a rotten old cooler.

[@randyruney5704]

I’m like you. I try to find other uses for what I find knowing I can use that some day. As soon as I do a clean out I find myself needing what I just threw out.

[@JeffreyDRein]

You need the 2nd outrigger for buoyancy with the extra weight from the live well, off shore

[@isickofit]

Perfect. Attainable, useful, neat.

[@raul_gonzalez305]

Good job, except for the steel. There's an aluminum recycler in Marathon by the airport. I suggest swapping out the steel for aluminum

[@marcuslarwa9098]

You’re probably better off getting a half piece of 1/2 OSB board and building exactly what you want, It would be half the weight. That piece you found is going to eat up more gas and make you go slower. In the long run you’ll end up spending more in fuel and probably killing your motor faster.

[@surfpapo]

I don’t know that’s what my wife says and we have stuff in every corner 😂 🎣

[@CORYSart]

I just snagged a crate top at work Sunday night that looks just like that. Had no use for it but shame to see it tossed out. I'm hoping the crate pops up soon around the pallet trailer.

[@tribalncgaming1091]

st pete near tampa has expandacraft .. he sells aluminunm 6 or 8 ft by 2ft kayak decking for this exact use, i think they weigh like 10-12lbs super strong, I had one for my yak with a transom

[@aquasaltyfishing4933]

I brake for buckets !!!

[@SoWhatChris]

That’s the board that jack couldn’t fit on in titanic

[@BuddyNaysh847]

Hey where did you get the outrigger btw? It’s plastic and not inflatable I assume…? Can’t really find anything like it on Amazon, will probably have to look elsewhere. Any way thanks and very much enjoy the channel.

[@user-bv3cl2cl8b]

It's not scavenging, it Swiss Family Robinson remolding.😊❤

[@stevehogan8829]

You can always reinforce it/\.

[@Backroad_Junkie]

I wouldn't say, "Hoarder". (Unless you're talking about garbage cans...) More a scavenger and recycler! 😁

[@protrekter87]

U could apply some johnson&jonhson baby oil (pink preferably) for mosquitoes. U thank me later... (and smelled good too😊😊😊)

[@jean-yveslefebvre6446]

Hey Steve still got that dead rat on your window frame is that a trophy????

[@jackdude2626]

👍

[@AquadudeH2O]

Filet table

[@billmoss5624]

👍😎✌

[@K3rmitDaFr4g91]

[@cup_and_cone]

It's from Hobie for sailing

[@andregross6062]

Jimmy rigging

[@RRFISHING1]

Steve. You are not a hoarder, you are a repurposer...

[@jayjohnson9668]

Its obvious you just like to piddle around with tools and over engineer everything!🤣🤣
