My Best DIY Cup and Rod Holders Part 1

Lightweight is my new obsession. Over the years, I always come back to the reality that if a vessel is easy to move around, you're more likely to use it. And that is often the key to catching more fish and having as much fun as you can while you paddle. In the past, I have been guilty of getting carried away with gadgets and gimmicks on my kayaks and it always leads to more problems and hassles. And that keeps me from taking them out sometimes, so, I meant to keep the canoe in this build as light as possible. I think it worked out pretty good.

Good to see you back at the shop, Marty. Hope life is treating you well.

[@JPWirt]

Where do I sign the petition to get Marty sponsored by Bud Light?

[@joshrowe4296]

Classic Marty content,funny,informative and a blast to watch,thanks for the videos, looking forward to seeing what you come up with next. Maybe "tiny hands "come back too!...

[@heshamalfahad3533]

You should give the old red "poor man's" kayak out for a fishing trip!

[@rodsandreelsjamaica7489]

Ate you back from the great loop. I have not been on KZbin because of my exams

[@MakersGottaEat]

Your "maker" vids are the best! My fav!

[@BILLYBOBSTUNES]

Great to see you back in your shop creating all kinds of Hacks/Helps for Kayaks and now Canoe's also. Interesting in hearing your thoughts in comparison of Yaks & Canoe as far as Comfort, weight, stability and ease of paddling on the water...thanks man...love your vids

[@trampster7306]

More workshop creativity! Love it! Stay safe & well. 👍👍🎣🎣

[@hookmore2023]

That’s a badass cup holder

[@greyscout01]

Seriously creative with the cup holders. Very cool.

[@tollesbury1]

Brilliant job Marty. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍.

[@ar15gator]

Excellent DIY Tips

[@Tejanoart]

Hope you fared well after that terrible hurricane. Stay barefoot brother!

[@McCrickz]

Always making stuff look so cool

[@bobb2183]

I agree with the Velcro has many great uses. 👍 I use a cheap heat gun a lot to melt expand flatten pvc pipe for many projects

[@wolfpackkayaktampabay3554]

Another awesome vid

[@r8edrv4fun65]

Nice cup holders! Glad you drilled all the holes.

[@jacobhemby3641]

Love this channel

[@outcastcwd]

That was really cool!!!👊😁👍

[@kiiiisu]

nice work!

[@chucksmith5002]

I like all the ideas you come up with. I have copied a couple of them for me. The best one I like is the square bait container for the Red Kayak you had. Enjoyed it Marty.

[@Guvrunner]

Can we get an update on you? Who's shop is that? Is that your camper there? Is that where you're living? Do you access to that pool in the background? Just a general update on Zoffinger, the person! 🙂

[@moretoliving2236]

Hey guys. For those not wanting to drill so many holes, if money is no object (that is you do not have a 3 in pvc pipe handy and need to buy one) in Lowes or Home Depot, go to plumbing section where they sell giant pvc pipe and they actually sell pre-drilled schedule 20. It won't be as fancy and you won't get satisfaction of drilling so many holes but it is an option. I think its schedule 20 drainage pipe or whatever its called. Really cool project.

[@madisonromero3529]

I know what I am adding to my boat one day!

[@earnestmatlock9694]

Great video as always, great ideas too. The Velcro is a great idea. Keep on keeping on Marty. 73 Earnest K5EWM.

[@alfriedar]

Just went and got my roll of Velcro tape strapping!

[@CDMANNING11]

vary well done

[@robertdavis7244]

Tip for the torch, I use the Coleman propane canisters. The green ones you use for all you camping grills etc. they are usually about half the price of the actual torch gas.

[@jimk351c]

Enjoy seeing you back in the shop Marty! Any plans for the big boat?

[@alfriedar]

I use my torches so often for so many things. I’m surprised you still have the old head on it instead of the automatic on trigger type. It’s so interesting to watch you do so much old-school

[@joshreagan1487]

Meet the canoe and kayak version of Orange County Choppers! Could be a Discovery Channel show in the making.

[@RobbsHomemadeLife]

hey Marty, I am working on hacking an intex 200. it only weighs 3 pounds! LOL I put an old 8 pound 12lb thrust Shakespeare on it. It also rows with aluminum oars. I am going to see if it will go downwind with my umbrella. I change the speeds with my foot. It is more stable than I thought sitting on the bottom. But zero room to carry stuff inside so I am working on that. Low weight is fun. I will post a video on it soon. I love your PVC hack. someone told me years ago PVC was urban ivory.

[@sandyfeat]

Cargo straps? Where you get that!? Looks like something I could use the heck out of.

[@jimmyorchid941]

Hey Marty, what month was miss swimsuit in the background? Is it yours or your friend? Now I see what inspired you everyday, lol.

[@hooahextreme]

The cup holders are a cool design. My only concern is your mounting method. I would worry that hull flex could create tension between the two screw locations.

[@jaredbradley4095]

Hull flex with someone in it that weighs about 155 😂. I’m pretty sure Marty knows what he is doing..

[@hooahextreme]

@@jaredbradley4095 yep. I'm sure he knows what he is doing. That is why I compliment him.

[@jaredbradley4095]

@@hooahextreme that was a compliment until “my only concern”..

[@hooahextreme]

@@jaredbradley4095 yep MY concern...I would worry. I'm 215lbs and carry a bunch of gear on canoe expeditions and have watched the flexing of the hull.

[@alfriedar]

Hey Marty I don’t know if you use a Mr. buddy heater in the winter time and those green 1 pound cans are easily refilled off of a 20 pound can for less than a dollar each. And also to refill your propane tank

[@ralphnicosia-rusin966]

Great ideas. How was the cargo strap attached to the roof liner of your truck?

[@ShawnBeFishin]

Marty you also Used that Velcro material to keep the pontoon doors from swinging everywhere

[@XbenX0101]

marty do a video on your truck set up!

[@garywilliamson5535]

Hi Marty: Do you have plans to do more of the Great Loop some day?

[@BackToTheBus]

Now you have to make diy ice chest outriggers for it .

[@d.faulkner8210]

Something tells me he likes Bud Light. lol Great Video..

[@Johndoe-qk6fi]

In tool and die. They have deburring knives for drilled holes you just spin it around in the hole a couple times and its a perfect smooth edge

[@peterpauwels4610]

I wonder if a wire wheel would make the laborious part go easier.

[@CDMANNING11]

don't for get your respirator when sanding LOL and the torch LOL

[@Sikoravictor]

Hola mi amigo! Hermosa piragua! Espero puedas ver mis videos y eches manos a la obra para hacer un porta cañas como el mío.. Saludos! Desde Resistencia Chaco Argentina.

[@fukkkkit---]

Can you link to your velcro strap?

[@the_old_standard]

is it just me or does Marty sound a bit like Christopher Walken . Marty are you from NY originally?

[@r8edrv4fun65]

You have a teardrop?!?!

[@nathanp5507]

What seat is on the canoe

[@smileszlovesz8145]

Marty why don't you start a kayak charter

[@canajian]

👋😎👍

[@robertherzog2087]

Why didn't you use thin wall PVC if you were concerned with weight?

[@noway57]

He drilled holes in it. Weight removed

[@JustTruckinAroundLLC.]

Hows the fishing?

[@tonybowling8956]

I’ll be down in July would you like to get together and do some kayak fishing

[@garywood8449]

Great work, fitting for the best beer ( BUD-WISER ).

[@hvacr24]

hi Marty!!!

[@alfriedar]

Also get a kick out of as you brainstorm and kind of take the viewer with you

[@claytoncampbell6873]

You need a deburring tool

[@devinholland2189]

Makes me wonder what you could do with a 3d printer.

[@jaredbradley4095]

Cup holder 😂. Can holder is more like it

[@demmlackl]

Scientists recently discovered that this man produces 98% of all micro plastic in the world.

[@nsmith473]

If drilling all those holes in the PVC made it so much lighter, why didn't he drill holes all in the canoe to make it easier to carry?

[@tonykazz2779]

is this channel sponsored by a Beer Company or is Alcholism being popularised intentionally ??? I wonder how many viewers have to go to an AA meeting after watching another brilliant zoffinger ? Whats with the constant booze ? Tony in Venice

[@tonykazz2779]

@@dbentley2195 I gave good advice , booze and water sports are informed as DUI and Open intoxicants hence it's bad advice to endorse Beer and pleasure boating. People will get legal problems if they get caught with open booze on ANY boat.

[@dixee6498]

I am so confused
