LIFETIME TAMARACK ANGLER WALK-AROUND (BUDGET KAYAK WITH MODS)

[@geo6111]

you can add gaskets to the port,holes. Go to home depot and buy a GE water filter o ring. It fits perfect and seals

[@FaithNFishing]

Awesome tip! Thanks for watching!

[@dumphreysmcgeerr5893]

very cool. Amazon has buckets that fit perfectly in the access holes. game changer

[@FaithNFishing]

Very cool! Do you have a link?

[@pcaravaca]

Great video !! Just what I needed ! Thanks man

[@FaithNFishing]

@@pcaravaca glad that it was helpful! Appreciate the comment

[@terrythomas8306]

Just bought the Lifetime Tamarack. I'm planning to equip with the stabilizer! Thanks for the video!!!

[@FaithNFishing]

It'll be worth the effort! Great platform to do a TON of mods too. Tight lines!

[@G1Fishing]

Awesome mods brother. I especially like the stabilizers.

[@FaithNFishing]

Thanks brother! They are a big help out there.

[@johnnelson8210]

Good informative walk-around. Thanks for the tips.

[@FaithNFishing]

You're welcome! Going to get the stabilizer video done very soon!

[@aa6zi]

Very nice. Thanks. Will be getting the Tamarack too.

[@FaithNFishing]

It's a great platform and highly modifiable! Great stability for a budget kayak!

[@TheKayakWarrior]

Good walk around brother! The little one must be keeping you busy! Glad things are well!

[@FaithNFishing]

Thanks brother! Been crazy busy and waiting for another little one arriving this September! We've been blessed beyond measure!

[@jamaciadog5603]

You did a good job. If you freshwater fish in Florida, how do you keep those 12 foot alligators from crawling into the yak with you ? I worry about that here in southeastern N.C. all the time.

[@FaithNFishing]

Thank you! I never fresh water fished either kayak. Been strictly salt this far.

[@ronschreiber3635]

Great Video

[@TulsaDave3]

Love the outrigger design. I'm wondering what size of pvc you use? I'm trying to use 1 1/4 but it's too tight to get into the rod holders and I dont know if 1" would be secure enough

[@FaithNFishing]

Thanks! I used 1 1/4" but they were VERY snug going in. If you were to use 1" you would have to pad it with Duct tape and that would be fine.

[@TulsaDave3]

@@FaithNFishing do you know how far down into the rod holder you went? They're about 9 inches deep but I dont know if that's possible. Also, it looks like you drove a screw into it to secure it?

[@FaithNFishing]

@@TulsaDave3 went down about 4 inches or so. Screw was probably overkill but I wanted it to stay put.

[@3TripleR]

Nice looking modifications. Looking forward to seeing them in action

[@FaithNFishing]

Thanks! Appreciate you checking out the video.

[@emperorkazmaa600]

How did you fit the PVC in the rod holders and what size did you use

[@FaithNFishing]

I used 1 1/4 PVC. It was a tight squeeze but you can use a little bit of wd-40 or even pam spray to slick it up a bit. Twist and push. Did them individually and built in place originally. After that, they put in with a little force. I never removed the base build, just took the end pieces off for transport. Went in about 4" and put a screw through it for additional security.

[@joapals]

Great video brother! Just bought one and have contemplated outriggers. I really like your design. Can you elaborate on outrigger design? Did you heat to create bends on top or are they angled pieces. Tough to make out

[@FaithNFishing]

Thanks for watching!! I did not use any heat for this. I just made the middle section a bit longer and the force between was enough to cause that slight bend. I can disassemble it and grab all of the specs for you, if you'd like. Would be my pleasure!

[@joapals]

@@FaithNFishing specs would be great 👍 appreciate you sharing your good work!

[@craigwickwire2871]

Cool, thanks. What width seat did you use-17” or 20”? Thanks.

[@FaithNFishing]

I used the 20" and it fits perfectly! Thanks for watching!

[@ronschreiber3635]

Great Video. What size is this

[@FaithNFishing]

Thanks Ron! Is is a 10'

[@TulsaDave3]

Is your crate sitting directly on the rear hatch or did you add something under it?

[@FaithNFishing]

Mine is an older model with flush hatches. They didn't bump out like the new ones. I didn't need anything to raise it.

[@coreybusby5633]

Lets see it on the water.

[@FaithNFishing]

Paddle keep got torn off and needs plastic weld repair. Need to get to that soon!

[@ronschreiber3635]

Your ruler where can U get one?

[@RickSnowman]

poor mans kayak??? $450.00 is poor? I bought a cheaper kayak cause I didnt want to invest $1500+ on a new sport that I might not even like.. ok I must be poor then but at least Im happy with it

[@FaithNFishing]

Yea, not a big fan of the poor man reference, which is why I mention budget kayak as my preference. This one served me well for 5 years before I upgraded, knowing that I loved the sport! Most important thing about a kayak is being comfortable with it and it suiting your particular needs. Tight lines!
