I love my heavy barge just not as much as my Ai
Currently mounting a 2.5 hp outboard on it as a Freind has the same yak he doesn’t row / travel on the water nearly as far as I do regardless witch yak I’m on so to get him out of the same 3 coves I mounting my outboard once he try’s it he’ll probably do the same
Foot pedaled for stearing  got a bicycle cable to move the throttle it’s coming together nicely for you purests out the this is a fishing machine

I already have a modified e motor I mount that 2 pins takes like half a minute also have a rudder system that clips in the same way
It’s been food to me but ya it’s a beast that said a stabile beast it’s done good by me in the ocean And the lakes 

Enjoy it
If you wan I can shoot you some pod of how I rigged the e motor and rudder

When I was a kid we would { my dad brothers and I } go fishing and believe me we are plenty of carp in fact carp is so bad to eat that it is prized bu many cultures around the world like many spices you red to know what your doing they an be tasty
There easy to shoot go get some

Looking for a hobbie TI
The wife decided she likes sailing and it’s a pain up drag her around on the AI  scores it screws up my fishing we need the space

To balance or not to balance
To swing to the fences or reel like a mad dog
What’s your method to catch them sturgeon?
I recently purchased a very nice balance for around fifty bucks
But I haven’t had a chance to use it every time I plan on heading out something comes up I was going to pick up another one but have not had the time so before I did I figured I would ask the sturgeon gods out there what works for them

We used to get the surgeon off the transom wile docked
Then they chased all the boats out of there T&O marina was on the far side used to take a ding across walk ove and eat on credit for a week before paying same restaurant former owner different name the water way has suffered much
The river course was change a few times  among other thing that slowed down the current witch helped silt it in in the 80s the government decided they wanted everyone out hopping to lure fancy restaurants and shop
San Jose wanted bay waters
They got it
the cost they were supposed to manage a flood control system they didn’t it cost my brother and I about a million each in damages due to flooding

Hunting sturgeon  Monday the 4th could use some company
I haven’t decided montazoma or just north of rio vista
I do plan an early start

The mounts look good did you have any problem with the insulation ?
Did you add any material to help support the bars from the inside ?
I’m not worried about leaking I have a matierial to handle that.
It looks like you have perhaps the same trailer as the one I picked up mine being a 99 Starcraft starflyerg
Or at least made the same way same small wheels same exterior and
Lites excitra  has 
Same technology or structure nice little camper very nice for five hundred bucks
I may put biter wheels on it if I can without to much effort
