🛶 My Emotion Wasatch Canoe with Cooler Outrigger Mod - Florida Fish Hunter

[@FFHTV]

My first canoe! I'm excited to see where this takes me. For more information or a possible followup video on how this was done - leave a comment stating you have an interest to see this.

[@Mark-u7l]

Yes More please

[@YeshuaT-bm6ss]

Most definitely interested thanks

[@TheFfmike317]

What a genius and clever build you done on your canoe. I have the very same Canoe and would be interested in buying a setup like you done on yours if you would make a copy of your design for sale

[@YeshuaT-bm6ss]

Looks great and like the idea but did it work and if so how well thanks for the video

[@FFHTV]

The cooler mod worked out better than I could have hoped for! 😊👍 Check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4jHhGRtjpuMeac

That's pretty cool John!

[@FFHTV]

Thanks Tracy! 😊👍

[@Okinanam69]

...a stroke of genius during the beer run! LOL!

[@FFHTV]

Yes sir! 😊👍

[@juddi753]

Man your video and cooler modifications to your canoe is a stroke of genius. I been thinking of getting a second vessel thats affordable and I think this is it . Thanks !!!

[@FFHTV]

Thanks! 😊👍

[@rebeccacomeau1418]

do you have a suggestion as to how I can attach a bow eye to mine? I need to winch it up on a ramp

[@FFHTV]

Hi Rebecca! I would recommend that you use the bow handle itself as the bow eye to winch the canoe. 😊👍

[@Jarrett0101]

Did it negatively affect paddling it? Also where do we get those brackets that you have for locking the arms in place and the coolers in place and is there a place to order all of that stuff from one site

[@aladrasullivan9018]

Lol them little locks aren't going to keep them coolers from popping out! 🤣

Just wondering what you use 2 coolers for? Obviously one has drinks and lunch, I assume the other would be a live well? Atleast that’s how I would want to utilize 2 coolers, I’m just wondering if the live well side causes the canoe to lean due to weight and water volume causing the cooler to ride lower? Excellent work just want to ask that question before investing the time for the purposes of use it for.

[@FFHTV]

Hi Tim and thanks! I don't use the cooler as a live well so I can't say if there would be an issue with the canoe leaning to one side but I would venture to say that there is the possibility that it may lean unless you had some weight on the opposite side to help offset and balance the weight. 😊👍

[@williamsmolka-mclean4429]

Brilliant!

[@FFHTV]

Thanks! 😊👍

[@johnsonslawnserviceministr4038]

Where did you get your brackets from the ones for the cooler and the ones that connect the PVC to the canoe?

[@FFHTV]

They are 3d printed clips and brackets of my own design. 😊👍

[@Darrel-v4u]

Well done !!! what try of bracketing hardware did you use?

[@FFHTV]

Thanks! They are 3d printed clips and brackets of my own design. 😊👍

[@rpgcinema7916]

do you think this would work on a kayak, using barrels?

[@FFHTV]

I don't see why not... Anything is possible if you put your mind to it. 😊👍

[@yomama5845]

What did you use to attach the pvc to the canoe?

[@FFHTV]

I used scotty style T tracks mounted to the gunnels of the canoe where my custom 3d printed pvc tube clamps attach using toilet bolts.

[@allans7281]

Love it! Inflatable’s are kind of a pain in the ass and I’m always worried about losing air. About how fast can you go with a 40 pound thrust trolling motor? Thx mate!

[@FFHTV]

Hi Alan and thanks! If I remember correctly the last time we were out on the canoe we were using a Minn-Kota Endura 30 trolling motor we clocked our fastest speed at 8 mph. 😊👍

[@allans7281]

@@FFHTV wow thats fast! Do you member what kind of battery you were using I’m trying to get long range.

[@FFHTV]

Allan I'm using a Dakota Lithium 54ah battery.

[@allans7281]

@@FFHTV Gotcha What’s the range on medium power and high power?

[@JohnnyCab]

Now that's a cool cooler setup for an outrigger

[@FFHTV]

Thanks! 😊👍

[@TheFfmike317]

Would you sell me a set of your brackets so I can do your brilliant design on mine.

[@FFHTV]

Thanks for the comment! 😊👍 I'm sorry I have not replied to you sooner as I'm actually trying to look and see if I have a possible copy of the original files somewhere as many of my recent designes including these got lost to a corrupted hard drive otherwise I would have to design it all over again which will take a while to do.

[@TheFfmike317]

Keep me posted if you will I really like your design.

[@williamcannon1734]

For $500 you can find a much better canoe used. One that doesn't weight 98#.

[@FFHTV]

True - but after six months of searching I gave up because from the many that I did find none had the paperwork required to get it registered. Since I had always planned on running a trolling motor, here in Florida, you are required to register the canoe if motorized. That's when I decided to just go with a new one. So far I have been super happy with this canoe as it has met all my expectations regardless of its weight. 😊👍

[@toddlong8672]

For that matter, some outriggers that are not shaped like bricks

[@jeraldearl5561]

If you can't lift a 98# Canoe, maybe your girlfriend can help you?

[@Okinanam69]

@@jeraldearl5561 LOL! Usually, girlfriends can lift their boyfriends easily!
