Welp. You sir are a freakin genius. Id like to have a video tour of your shop to see what else you've been tinkering with. Is your coffee maker in the kitchen stock, or has it been mcgee-ified? Good stuff man.
Nice layout. Seat is fastened great in rear but what keeps the front of the seat from flipping up when you learn back? Thanks for any help. By the way, I'm almost 80.
My first time Kayaking and this Kayak held strong. th-cam.com/users/postUgkx4k5UrhC3v_Y4hIEaXLGvHcN5a5aBmZNB The water got pretty rough as a speed boat zipped by me, and the Kayak withstood it (I expected to be capsized). The Ores are very easy to put together, the pump worked beautifully. the seats are a bit hard to sit in after a while (I recommend sitting on the floor). after reading the reviews I was very scared it'd get a hole in it, the material is very strong and durable. The Air valve may need a small Phillips head screwdriver to adjust, other than that, it's well worth the money!(update)I've gone Kayaking in 3 Lakes and 2 rivers totaling about 40 miles. the kayak had two holes and they patched easily and no other problems can't wait for kayaking season this year!
I just bought the same kayak used. It only has a seat and a paddle. I want to add a fishfinder as well. What kind of battery is that and how did you rig it to the fish finder? Please
Wow you really did a great job on all these modifications. I’m in anchorage Alaska and our Walmart here just marked down these orange kayaks from $320 to $79 so I really like your seat set up and the side floats. I will be doing that myself.
I tried mounting the same seat to my kayak and because I am 6' 2" I found that my center of gravity was too high. I don't have pontoons on mine and just felt like I was going to tip even when casting. Plus I found the seat back dug into my back and I couldn't be on the water for more than a few hours.
I have this same kayak and it’s extremely stable, never had any issues tipping or even coming close. Lots of good stuff in the video though. “Less is More” when it comes to kayak fishing,
Great video. I have been kayak fishing for five years now. One thing I did was install a retractable rudder, that I can raise up when I need to. It makes my Journey 10 track as straight as an arrow when I paddle.
I know at 73 years of age, I am not going to be able to get back in my kayak, so the best idea is to never fall out. I am modifying my Journey 10 with some outriggers, so the kayak will not flip over!
Nicely done. Thanks for several good ideas. I bought my first kayak, yesterday, at age 70. I ordered a Lifetime Tamarack Angler. Counting the minutes to delivery day.
I added a homemade rudder n bracket , out of nylon cutting board . Will ride up over grass n rocks , pins in upright position for transport. Makes boat track straight . Nice mods. I have numerous PVC rod holders on crate ..6 . Clamp on umbrella is cool too
awesome job Don! I appreciate you sharing your yak build with us. I recently decided i would like to get into kayak fishing as well and i plan to use most of what youve shown here. i have no doubt it will make the time spent on the water much more enjoyable. Thanks a bunch Don! Stay safe
where did you purchase the fish finder and battery at?

Who makes that seat? Nice mods👍

Thank you for the details! Great video, and incredibly helpful!
I’m gonna need those outrigger pontoon supports for sure, now do they interfere with your paddling? Thanks
Awesome kayak
Just brilliant ideas!
Why the plugs?
Thank so much this has been the best one i have seen. i am doing a mode on my tamarack. will be using many of your ideas... thanks again
Great video thanks for sharing

When I'm ready to go out, I put it in the bed of my truck. Truck is made out of pvc that I heated up and flattened out.
Are you going to post fishing trips

Thanks for the info brother but damn why do you even buy a kayak you could have built your own 🤣🤣🤣
Just pick one up yesterday, and you just gave me a ton of ideas. Thanks for the video.
You should patent the latch system for your seat
Somebody tell me where I find out to make coil lanyards lanyard
When you screw anything to your kayak, do you use any kind of sealant?
I used marine adhesive but any caulk type sealant would probably do. I just used it to give the screws a little more to hold onto.
Cool, thank you
Fisherman are some of the most ingenious people on the planet. 😁
great work!!! congrats!
Excellent hacks! Love that you painted the PVC olive drab so it more closely matches the look of the boat. Lots of ingenious ideas! 👍🏻
I just velcro on my 3600 waterproof tackle boxes in my cheap sit in. Works great
Can you stand in it now that you have those stabilizers.
Great video sir. Thanks for giving me some more ideas for my yak
im over 65
Great video. Please forgive me for asking a dumb question, but can you explain what the yellow golf ball is used for... thank you...
Great job!
Thank you sir!

Is this the 10 ft Tamarack Angler? Or the 10.3 ft Tamarack Pro?
@@getmeoutofsanfrancisco9917 just tamarack

Very creative and well covered. I like your ideas.
Hello sir, I was wondering if it would be possible for you too make a short video on how to mold/flatten pvc?

you’ll need about 563 ft. to do the destroyer 😂
Is that the seat that came with it or is it a stadium seat
The seat that comes with these lifetime boats are totally ridiculous. First time out my bent over. Others have the same experience
Mr. Don, great video! My son and I are just getting into kayak fishing and your video has helped a bunch! Thank you for sharing!
Hello, very good video, one question, where did you buy your kayak chair, thanks and greetings
Walmart. I believe it's an Ozark brand. Don't remember what it cost, but I think it was around $20.ish.
awesome job Don! I appreciate you sharing your yak build with us. I recently decided i would like to get into kayak fishing as well and i plan to use most of what youve shown here. i have no doubt it will make the time spent on the water much more enjoyable. Thanks a bunch Don! Stay safe
Thank you. Have fun!
Nice job
15:38 had me chuckling
Just got one myself… appreciate the video
Thanks for the video. Just gave me some great ideas.
