*I bought this model for my 14 ft Jon boat. **enjoyable.fishing** recommend love it!!! It pushes my boat with ease ( 2 men 220 each). I would highly recommend this to anyone.*
Bro, I haven’t fished since I was a kid, recently wanting to get back into it and want a kayak..been looking at the 128, found your review, your yak is amazing, so much thought put into this...amazing build bro🙌🏻
You must be an electrician cause I can't imagine the wiring nightmare to make all of that work cohesively(sp). So over the top but I love it! And its incognito motored! What?! Fantastic job bro!!
Dude great job clean looking amazing ingenuity I have one same color for about two years now I don’t think I can fit any more upgrades It is a great platform to work out of
If I ever buy another kayak again, this will be the one! I had a Hobie Outback with the flipper drive that I ended up selling after realizing that my knees were too far gone for any extended time on the water. If I do get a 128T, it will get a trolling motor since it looks like the perfect platform.
Nice mods. Just some friendly information, two trolling motors are no faster than a single trolling motor. If anything it may be slowing you down slightly and draining your batteries twice as fast. Additionally, you should ditch the solar panel. Even in the Florida sun, with optimal conditions, you would need a panel the size of your kayak to even see the smallest benefit with the amperage being eaten by one motor let alone two. You can calculate these numbers yourself. Very cool setup though my man.
Im trying to understand why two trolling motors wouldn’t be faster than one. Two gas engines are faster than one (of the same power). 2 jet engines with 15,000 lbs of thrust each equals 30,000 lbs of thrust. Why wouldn’t that apply here? Draining his batteries twice as fast, definitely. Are you thinking of the power to weight ratio?
Curious After all of the bells and whistles That you done to this kayak When its time for fishing How much does this thing way When you sit down including All of the fishing tackle?
@@NauticalXNature lit! I just got a 128t yesterday and tryna figure out what way would I wanna put a trolling motor on. it looks like a 133x but it's different. I've seen 128t videos on Y.t but none of them look like the one I have
Question...where did you buy minn Kota pulse modulator pmw, if you can provide me with the model number and web site please I will appreciate it...thanks. Are you running 12 V on it. By the way awesome set up.
Yoooo!! I found the link! Ordered it on my lady’s phone sorry it took a while. (www.ebay.com/itm/302648236126) Thanks for the compliment and I hope this helps. Happy Yakking!
Awesome idea! I've been wanting to get a new yak and have been looking at these and also trying to think of ways to add a trolling motor that I won't have to have a handle or pole and you have the best I've seen! The only downside i see to this is you cannot pull it up if going into shallow water which is a bummer. Theres always room for improvement though. What lb thrust motors did you go with on there? I didn't happen to hear if you said.
Great point you make about shallow water concern. From my measurements the two 30 pound trolling motors have the shaft altered to allow floor clearance up to 1.5 feet from the bottom of the rudder to the base of the hull. I don’t mind standing in 1.5 feet of water if need. Also, I have the ability to raise the motors an additional 6” by design. It works very smooth. I hope your build provides you with great pleasure. Thanks for checking out the video.
Sea-lect designs made the set, new pedals and track included. They’re discontinued on Amazon so you will have to call Sea-lect Designs directly to place an order. Here’s the part number K747600-1. Happy Yakking!
Great build. Very different. I just ordered my second motor for my yak. I just might use this type install. Very clean. Thanks!
Honestly impressive. Tons of thought and ingenuity went into this build. Well done.

Thats a sleeper kayak. Only give away is the 2ft wake it leaves behind. Very nice build
Bruh this is literally the best kayak set up I've ever seen. Amazing job bro
you may need to look into more kayak setups lmfao.
Man this is awesome. You could start a business customizing kayaks for people.

Thanks man
Robert Choque this video explains the electric setup. Check it out: th-cam.com/video/azrCCoBR1K0/w-d-xo.html
Sick build!
I hope you upload an update video.
I just bought the acend 10t.
Dude great job clean looking amazing ingenuity I have one same color for about two years now I don’t think I can fit any more upgrades It is a great platform to work out of
I agree. Great job! I’m definitely going to do the solar battery charger

You are amazing... Great vid. Making me tilt toward the to Ascend
That is an absolute beast of a set up holy shit bro
Awesome solar setup!
Sick, I got same yak, minus some of the upgrades!🔥💯
Smart job on the transducer!
Todd Perry thanks man.
Nice job. Can you make a video on how you installed and setup the trolling motors?
Nice mods.

Clean kayak! Drag boat!
U have inspired me to do this to my 128t
Curious
After all of the bells and whistles
That you done to this kayak
When its time for fishing
How much does this thing way
When you sit down including
All of the fishing tackle?
This is awesome!
do you ever go in the river with both motors on?
Yes I do, it’s a challenge at times but mostly enjoyable.

YakMan, this is one legit setup especially the inconspicuous part. What motors are you using for this?
Thanks, Minn Kota 30lbs Freshwater
Thanks! What’s the IG handle
Twin turbo lol . Nice setup

Hey I’m thinking about buying one. do you like the ascend 128t kayak
Best Kayak I’ve own for the price. What style of activity are you interested in?
No, I need to see a video of it working. I think the torque on those little arms coming through the scupper holes is going to be too much.
Awesome Kayak mods! How did you modify the foot rest slides?
Sea-lect designs made the set, new pedals and track included. They’re discontinued on Amazon so you will have to call Sea-lect Designs directly to place an order. Here’s the part number K747600-1. Happy Yakking!
Thank you for the info. I greatly appreciate it.
jose ruiz Thank you for your support.
Post Next Video Testing And Cruise In The Kayak
Can you stand up in that kayak?
Did you modify the trolling motors yourself?
Yes, I used the golden rule (measure twice and cut once). The results were excellent.
where did you find the speed controller
Michael Bond hope this helps. www.ebay.com/itm/302648236126
that's badass!
great set up, you close up shots are killing it though. You need a camera man
How do you steer?
Luke Lucas Country the rudder on the rear does an excellent job at steering. Do you have a Yak?
Can you put it in saltwater?
It’s the only way I ride.
Absolutely boss!!!
Cool! .
okfishin guy thanks!
On water video please
