I like how you have the transom reinforced and the motor bolted in. However, the solo skiff people recommend not bolting into the transom. Has it been holding up well?
Grant k It isn't bolted on. That is a bow eye. I have a stainless cable going from the bow eye to the motor to secure it in case I flip. Keeps the motor from coming off. I'd rather repair a wet motor than his a diver to go find it. lol
I had a custom transom saver fabricated out of aluminum and then powder coated. I have one bolt going though the transom holding everything together. Perfect set up.
As as longtime Kayak fisherman, I am so getting one of these. This is amazing.
Nice Walk around. Great information! Thanks for sharing!
Sir would you please disclose a link to the six foot rails you have on either side of the skiff. Thanks
I like the looks of the trailer. Sleek and slim. Where did you get it?
It's just a McClain jon boat trailer. All of the modifications above stock were done by me.
With that size tank, what type of range are you getting on that thing, fuel wise?
SailingandSuch
It's a 3 gallon. I have between 80-100 miles range.
brentdavenport01 Nice! Thanks for the info.

I love this! Where did you get the 6' track?
I got them from Yak Gear, but I think you can order them directly from Solo Skiff.
@@brentdavenport01 is it a single 6' rail? im having trouble finding it....
@@Evan721sxm
Yes. It's a single 6' track. Call Yak Gear in Houston.
What size screws are you using on your starport mounts?
nanocasillas80
Those are #14x1 stainless
brentdavenport01 no backing?
It's not necessary. I predrilled the bones and used Marine Goop. Pulling kayaks isn't an issue at all.
brentdavenport01 thank you very much for responding!
Can it fit a kid and an adult
I've heard of people doing it. It wasn't designed for it though.
