Holy smokes that's a lot of gear. I know you weigh a lot less than me, but I think you may have exceeded your maximum capacity:)

I may buy a two man so Merv and I can fish together. Merv could keep the yak under control while I fish. What a way to bond a friendship. |

The boat was tippy on paddled strokes but never to a point i thought i was in any danger. |
Yeah, with me in that thing I would have been able to take 1 Barbie pole, a pack of soft plastics, and a sleeping bag.

The more research I do, the more I like the 'barge" style yaks. The only major drawback, at least for my needs, seems to be size and the probable need for some sort of trailer rather than a rooftop scenario. I think I'll wind up making some sort of double trailer and start out with a big yak, then make the decision on what to get for the second one off of that experience. I love bfish's chain rudder idea too, we have already exchanged a few pm's and that came up during the conversation. I will try that one before I try a real rudder for sure! I've put broken outboards on the back of spinny pond boats before just for the rudder effect :):):) |

Well, I finally got a couple of Kayaks and just about ready to get them wet.
I found a used Ride 115 and a Hobie Mirage Outback (Hank Parker) for a great price, just got through building a hanging rack on rollers and started the rigging process. Both came w Paddles, the Hobie came with a roller and a few extra odds and ends. The pic of the seat in the Ride is to show a repair I made, the guy I bought it from had broken the back in half, I'm not sure how but if it happens to anyone else with that seat, a couple of pieces of 1/2" PVC will fix it :) I Should be fishing within a few days if things go right :):) Here's some pics, and thanks for all of the advice! Thx, Rob |
Congrats!
