By all means post it up. We are certified instructors. This is not something we just made up and put out there. You have to stay calm and locate your paddle or getting back on the kayak will leave you with no means of moving it and you only need the strap if you have a wide boat and it is hard to flip. I too have a jet ski and they are not the same.

Pretty awesome area!!

Depending on the river, I actually prefer the Kuda. I fish shallow smaller rivers with shoals and like how light and easy it is to move around. It also goes a bit shallower than the pike because the keel sticks down a bit. I use the whitewater fin or no fin depending on the situation.

I do. I have not had super strong current or wind yet but it doesn’t take much to spin the boat without them and I have been pleased with the setup so far!

Been through several and their can be some similarity’s lol

I am really close to the 10k mark I think. I had a lot of the gear from other builds so I don’t know exactly but that is very close.

Hey! I used a 1/4 20 stud in place of the T-bolt. www.yakattack.us/TS15_1420_6_p/ts15-1420-6.htm?gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIy8XxneL3hwMVbW5_AB1siwroEAQYASABEgJAIPD_BwE

@@roadtripangler awesome ordered! Thank you

But does it have two power poles?!? Lol

@@roadtripangler haha!! Good luck with it looks like a great setup!

Thanks!!

For sure! So many great options! You can really dial in the best boat for what you’re doing!

Yea it's awesome if you can afford all of that. I'm a kayak angler and I can't afford stuff that nice but I make do with what I have. Just a Crack pipe dream for now

Thanks!!

Thanks! It is always an adventure with the fam lol

Right lol!

This motor is what Torqeedo calls their short shaft, but it is closer to a 20” shaft. I believe a short shaft would work fine though because I felt like it was deeper than necessary.

Actually after some digging it appears they recommend the 20” shaft

@@roadtripangler I purchased a 15" suzuki 2.5 to go on my flycraft 2.0, but it was too short. The rocker on the boat is so high the prop was completely out of the water. Went back to the shop and upgraded to the Honda 2.3 long shaft and it is perfect. Thanks for the info!

I would probably be walking on water lol

Thank you!! It was a great time for sure!

For the coldest nights, anything below freezing, i have a little buddy heater that I sit on the shelf so I can reach down and cut it off. It runs off propane. It is rated for indoor use and will absolutely run you out of there. I typically turn it on till I am comfortable in the bed and then cut it. Turn it back on in the morning and lay there till it is warm and get up. If I was doing more winter time camping and had my family along on those trips I might look into something a bit permanent.

Right!! I love seeing her get excited about fishing!

lol! Yea I don’t know why she puts up with me!

@@roadtripangler I ask myself that same ? Daily lol

I am posting a rigging video where I do a little rigging on this boat soon! I think it will do good in rough water, but have not had the opportunity to try it. I know several of the Bonafide team folks took it to Panama and took it offshore!

They can be a a beast if you end up wrong side up.

Thanks!!

They crushed it with the seat!

Thanks for watching!!

For sure man! I am 💯 percent blessed! Thanks for watching as always brother!

I agree that setting up and tearing down each time would be more difficult. I transport it fully inflated on my truck rack and throw the motor in the bed or on a trailer so I am dealing with the full set up and honestly, with a cart, I feel it is pretty easy to maneuver. I am not trailering it like a normal boat and can move it around at home and to the water with a kayak cart while fully rigged as I had it in the video. I feel this is the real advantage to this boat and having the ultimate option to store delayed if needed. If you are setting up and tearing down each time and can sacrifice the capacity, something like an inflatable kayak or the FishSup might be a better choice. Great feedback!

I am typically a catch and release angler, however when I do keep fish I go with a cooler bag on the bow! Easy and it comes off quick when I get to the truck!

Those are all solid options. If you plan to motorize, it would for sure be the PWR. I like how open the floor is without the drive. The Bite is awesome as well but would be more difficult to add the motor. If you were just going to keep it a pedal drive it would probably be the better option. I like the new belt drive and the way the lower unit kicks up without taking up more room in the deck. This is key when you’re shallow and wanting to stand and fish. Hopefully that helps. One more thing. I like to site fish, so I like motoring to my spots and then standing to fish which is why I personally like the PWR. Another great option to consider for motorization is the Nucanoe Pursuit.

Thanks! For sure. It is the right boat for the right situation! I think that is the cool thing about where we are with kayak fishing. So many options to fit different needs. In the old days, can’t believe I am saying that, we just put rod holders on whatever kayak and called it a fishing kayak. Now you can really be picky and dial in what fits you best!

Well I would say it would need a patch after that. Nice thing is it has 4 different inflatable sections so hopefully you can manage.

@@roadtripanglerI was asking because a bull shark attacked my kayak on a fishing trip beginning of the summer

Dang…I have not had that happen and hope it doesn’t. Glad you’re ok. Bulls are crazy…

@@roadtripanglerthanks me too,it was a terrifying experience and I’m kinda scared to go out now I’m looking for something different until I can afford a boat

For sure!! I have been meaning to do that for the front especially. Great thought on the front box and that would be easy to do

Thanks, honestly I found these years ago at an event. They had been left behind so I grabbed them. I have no idea who makes them. I also have a set of Suspenz rack that I like.

Thank you sir!

Actually sometimes they are easier unless you’re talking about one that has a really small cockpit like a white water or touring kayak. They take a bit different technique and some times even a friend.

They could easily carry an adult and a child, but you would have to figure out a seating option. They aren’t “designed” to be tandem so it would just take some thought. I would also say it would depend on the size of the adult and child. I am 225lbs and my son is 8 and probably 70lbs or so. We can do it but he is really getting to the point where for space and comfort I would go with a bigger option

For sure! Thanks for watching!

My favorite!!

They are my favorite as well!!

I have two inflatable kayaks, this inflatable skiff, and two inflatable rafts. I have never torn any of them. I got a couple of pin holes in one from sharp fish fins, but it took days to leak down and I was able to patch it really easy

Hey! Mine has the track option on the sides and I made a plate out of aluminum to span from one to the other. Bolted it on and then attached the rotopax to it. For the MaxTrax I did the same but they are just attached to the top track bar with the bracket. You can buy their bracket and do the same. There is a Molle panel made to work with Four Wheel’s track spacing. Here is the link to it too: prospeedrack.com/collections/accessories/products/four-wheel-campers-molle-panels?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR3kljU7IP6ohOqsB0wNf7F04HskedUylC5thtbDV36qL9jxF1KnF-CQJsU_aem_kt9nIiTsy_zsv3C-E8ac4A Hopefully that helps! I love my set up. Thanks for watching!!

That’s awesome. Much appreciated. I have some old road signs that would work perfect but I will check out the molles you suggested. I will need one. Take care. Great channel btw

Thanks! Glad I could help! I like the DIY methods lol.

It was a blast for sure!! Hard to leave them

It was a blast! You need to come explore some of our waters.

Thanks! It was a blast!

So at first I had some around the tailgate. Not the camper but around my truck tailgate. A bit of bulb seal in the areas that needed it took care of 90% of it. I see a little when I am on really bad roads but only around the bottom edge of the gate. I needed my truck to haul stuff so this was my only real option and it had been awesome!

Thanks!! For sure!

For sure!!

It is a beautiful place

For sure. I typically inflate a few below max regardless still very rigid!

Since I filmed this I raised it to the top holes on the motor and man it performs way better! It would be hard for me to ever want a different boat. I mean I would like to have the new Caicos too for shallower applications but that is a but I haven’t hit the lottery yet lol.
