Show your PA pic's if you have any. Would like to see your set up.
Thanks Josh

I have a few. I will try to post them here later. I'd be interested to see other pics as well.

Here they are: The box is homemade. Picked up a cheap Truck Box from Wal-Mart, a piece of black PVC and a few wing nuts. The result is a pretty good box for storing anything legal that is short of 40  inches or so. Just toss in a large bag of ice on the way to launch and you're all set. The PVC pipes could be extra rod holders but I use them for my net and my visipole.

The box was strong enough that I grabbed two more to store my PA on. I grabbed one of those high density foam cylinders from the fitness area, cut it in half and set those halves on the boxes to protect the bottom of the Kayak.

How I transport my PA:


you can see the FF and rod holders in this picture:


I am using a Humminbird 788ci FF/GPS combo mounted on a Mad Frog Liberator mount with a transducer arm, this is then mounted on a Scotty FF mount which in turn is in a Scotty clamp on rod holder.  there are 4 Scotty clamp on rod holders total.  I had to use a 1/8" thick rubber shim so the rod holders would tighten up on the PA rails.  I also have a Go-Pro cam that I can either mount in a RAM ball that is in the Hobie mast hole or I can mount it in a YakAttak Panfish mount that uses a Scotty type mount.  No holes drilled anywhere and it takes 5 minutes to set up or tear down everything.

Here are some of the cool things I did to the Pro Angler.  I did the sliding seat modification which raises the seat slightly and makes it easier to get to that sardine that dropped off your sabiki rig, if you know what i mean.
The next is the anchor trolley from ACK.  It's a quick release design when you pull a loop of rope though the ring and use the cam cleat to hold the anchor rope. 
I also made a trailer that will transport 4 kayaks.  This is the beefed up version 2.0 
I've done more things to my kayak but need to take photos of them if there's any interest.

Ha Ha.  I only have one.  The closest one belongs to CK.  My brother has one too and my buddy Marco has an outback.

Just a quick dumb question how do you guys keep all those screws from rusting.I just got my pa back in January and I'm hesitant about putting too many screws in.so far I'm trying to put as little screws as needed
My biggest worry is that my wife(when I'm dead)will sell my fishing gear for what I said I paid for it

^ Use stainless steel and rinse after using, especially when in salt water.

Here is a simple project to keep your jacket and gear dry and off the floor.  I believe it took @ 11 feet of bungee cord.  WM didn't have it in black.
