So I finally got the pimping that needed to be done after about a dozen trips without anything but the ff.

So that was the first install pretty nice 587ci, Can also get a chip in the future.




Tried getting water to go threw the gap for the wires none does just used some goop to fill it in. Also can see how clean it looks inside no wires hanging and clear to stuff everything underneath for launching and landing.


Next was the catch for the tray in the rod pod as well as the duel flush mount Scotty holders nicely hidden between the rodpod and ff and does not block by view of the ff.


After much debate on installing duel rodholders in the back I went with No will never have more rods then 3-4 on the water and went with this.
One for the KZ Gaff the other for a sabiki Rod.

Scotty's with point to leash the rods could be used for trolling I could possibly with this set up troll 4 rods no problem as well could put a downrigger on without any other modificatios really. As well as could just use to place a rod not ine use.

Also a light for hooping for lobster at night.

Between those 8 rodholders i shouldnt need more but if I do I can add the old crate.


Some ideas stolen from others some improvising of my own. Hope I can help other with the quest of getting there ride ready.

So Far I have fished this Yak a dozen times and hooped off it about 6 and LOVE it no problem stacking 5 hoops behind me or even on the front deck. Extremly stable plat form. Ive stood up on it with out feeling to unstable. Would I buy it again? Yes.

Nice Ryan.  Lets trade milk crates.  I just bought a yellow t15 and I have a green one that would match yours.  Or you can just have the green one.  Andy
