I have a question for you revo owners,I was wondering if any of you mounted or tried to mount the yakattack gt175 tracks on the rear gunnel by the rod holders.i went by sunrise mountain sports and looked at the revo and when I put the track on top of the gunnel it seems like the gunnel is too narrow to accommodate the track and I tried to reach through the rear hatch too see if you could add the mighty mount underneath it.thanks in advance
My biggest worry is that my wife(when I'm dead)will sell my fishing gear for what I said I paid for it

I use the GT90's with the backing plates on my Revo, but I have mine mounted by the pockets.  I haven't mounted any in the rear, yet.  They've worked great for me so far,

They make backing plates for the gt90?or is it something that you customed yourself?

They make backing plates for all their tracks.

How was you able to reach all the way in there to mount the backing plate?I tried reaching in there and I could barely get the tips of my fingers in there

You need to use the rigging bullets. Here's a good video showing how this is done:

Cool.  Do the rigging bullets come with the kit?  If not, where do you get them?

They don't come with the tracks. Your local dealer may have them, or you can get them online here: http://www.austinkayak.com/products/8577/YakAttack-Rigging-Bullet-Mounting-Hardware-Gear-Trac.html
