Test video of Pro Angler

Nate and Drew of OEX Oceanside take the PA out of for a spin.

Really enjoyed the vid.
Gives credence to the term 'turn on a dime'.
That would be cool to have if I had a boat slip somewhere.
I started working on putting rod tubes in a kayak on CAD a while back but I could not figure out a decent design with a normal sized kayak. By normal size I mean 16' or smaller with a width of 27'' to 28''. The hardest part was trying to make it so there was deck top access to the tube and it would not fill with water. Not an easy undertaking.
Either the rails would be too high or the tube had too much angle to it or it would act as a big long bucket and weigh the kayak down with excess water.
It's nice to see a design that incorporates them even though they would be most beneficial in surf entries and exits; a place where I do not see this boat spending much time.

please tell me that was AutoCAD?

everytime i see this thing i think of landing model planes on the deck.

SteveS sounds like Kayak envy. hahaha

That was cute. The boat's stability/workability look good. They could definitely use some post production consultation work from AbKing . . .

Thanks Z...

 That Machine is sparking my interest...

 As soon as I can Military Press 150lbs,  This just might work......

don't you have a trailer?  you just need to be able to lift the bow off the ground a few feet right?

Ya, and that would work just fine, but if I really liked this Behemoth, dragging my trailer around kinda starts to defeat the whole reason I like KayakFishing in the first place....

 it's really Kool, as well ya all know, to just throw the rig on top of the car and go...

Hike the yak to the launch and off ya go....

This thing would be an event,  still I am interested, trying to figure some simple mechanical advantage type things to see if this could be an option...

 Looking forward to trying it out....
