i still think you guys are nuts.... :smt011 :smt011 :smt011 :smt011 :smt011
so here's a question for you engineers in the group. let's say you want to catch an albacore from a kayak. and let's says there was a guy that was going to buy a new boat that could actually run a pair of kayaks, two yakkers, and a boat crew of three out 40-50 miles out to the albacore grounds, and let's say that this guy didn't want any scratches in his brand new boat. dragging the yaks behind the boat may or may not be an option. how would you mount the kayaks on the boat to not scratch up that pretty new gelcoat?
guys, mull this one over and let's figure something out. oh, and the boat looks like this.... :smt007 :smt007 :smt007 :smt007 :smt007

Quick ideas...
1. Put a kayak rack on the hard top... might not work with the antennas up there.
2. Hang them on their sides from the supports for the hard top. Might be able to hang two yaks on each side from the looks of it.
3. Put them sideways across the stanchions on the bow of the boat... probaby get two yaks up there but might obstruct the captains view a bit.
4. Build rack for the back of the boat that uses either the fushmount rodholders or the downrigger bases as the connecting point.
Hopefully the "guy with the boat" is crazy enough to transport some crazy kayakers to the Tuna Grounds.
