I'm pleased with the anchor trolly down the side of mine. I carry a trekking pole that fits through the scupper holes for quick pinning that gives me some options as well.
Dude that’s awesome. I’m looking at a used one in green right now. Does $800 for a clean, barely used one with a Larry seat and dolly sound like a fair deal? I love the foam flooring.
Thanks! $800 is not a bad price if it truly is barely used. I paid a bit less for mine, but it was older, and I probably still overpaid a bit due to its true condition. It still does what I need it to do, so I'm happy. Best of luck! They are a great fishing platform for shallow waters.
So I ended up “adopting” some boats from a friend that is no longer able to Kayak due to shoulder issues. I think the one I’m going to make my primary fishing boat is a Native Manta Ray 14’. Are those Larry chairs pretty universal? It looked like it just sits down in there and uses two straps to secure it? Also, I’m in Spring Branch, TX, west of Canyon Lake. Let’s fish!
@@wilkinsonfamily3342 Congrats on the new boats! The Native looks to be a good platform, though I notice it's designed for a on-deck seat pad. On my Diablo, there are slots molded into the deck specific to the shape of the bottom of the Larry chair. The legs of that chair run fore-to-aft, so unless that seat space of the Native is wide enough, you'd probably have to build some sort of riser for a chair like that to fit on. There are other raised kayak chairs with legs that run side-to-side, so those might be a better choice if you wanted a raised seat. Do keep in mind, the Native is fairly narrow, so it you do raise your center of gravity, it may get tippy. I love Canyon Lake! I have some property near there where we hunt, and I've brought my kayak up there to get on the water during the heat of the day. I've caught some nice bass out of there. Is the water level coming up now that we've got some rain?
Dude that thing looks freaking awesome
Thanks, buddy! I'm really pleased with how it turned out!
Beautiful 😊
Thank you!
Nice practical improvements!
Slainte,
