General Talk / Re: Pros and cons of sit on top Kayak vs sitting in Kayak

« on: June 22, 2024, 10:33:27 AM »

Before sit on tops people fished from sit in very comfortable
Should really think about were you will be fishing and what for
Lake, river, ocean ?
Most sit on tops have way to much equipment loaded on them, to heavy , to slow for any distance
If piece of mind then outback
M2 cents

Measure from CL of front bulkhead to CL of rear bulk head
Set your cross bars that distance apart Strap it down over the bulkhead and go

If roof length wont allow then fwd cross bar to me is most important To secure at bulkhead
Rear just becomes balance point

No bulk head then make a temp block to suport the hull so strap is solid

Would it be possible to get a LIKE button and or a thumbs up or down button to vote on a posting.
The recent posting of the new boat design really shows a need for them

Interesting, innovation is alive and well BUT
First thing I see is the front of the rear portion is flat. To me you are pushing water not gliding over so will be slow IMO
Probably ok for fresh water use in flat calm water.
Not for ocean use IMO
The foot steering is interesting but mounted high ???
Maybe retrofit a sit on top ???

General Fishing Tips / Re: Wetsuit vs. dry suit - which one?

« on: February 16, 2024, 08:06:47 AM »

Dry Suit for cold or cool weather. Yes take more care but warmer
Need a wicking material under gar-met. They come in light or heavy
Visit local dive shop to check out.
Also warmer when taking of at end of day when changing clothes after trip
