    That stick steer and tilt/trim trolling motor has to be the slickest mod ive seen yet. A bit bulky in the mount, but SO practical....well done sir!

    Nice set of mods... One thing I don't see though is boat tags/numbers displayed on the kayak. It's motorized and therefore required to be registered/tagged if on Texas public waters (Brazos Park East, etc). Remove the motor and no registration/tags required in Texas. Good luck - eventually you will get cited.

    • @PROAMOUTDOORS
      @PROAMOUTDOORS  Před rokem +2

      Yeah I just built that bracket system for the trolling motor and shot the video. The next following week I got tags on that kayak. That video is about one year old. Watch some of my newer videos and you’ll see the tags on the kayak. But, thanks for watching

    @scottfrey2710 Před rokem +2

    seems like it would be top heavy with all that gear and higher seat, therefore more prone to tipping? how is it regarding that? or do you plan to build stabilizers so when you lean to pick up a fish, it won't roll and dump you? Very neat engineering you did!!

    • @PROAMOUTDOORS
      @PROAMOUTDOORS  Před rokem +1

      No not top-heavy at all. In fact it’s a wide standup kayak. I even stand up and fish in it. Also I’ve got a video out sure where I was in a bad storm where I was riding waves sideways and up and down and never lost control and I’ve never flipped in it. It’s a very stable kayak. Thanks for the comments love to hear this

  • @dkhorse12345
    @dkhorse12345 Před 3 lety +1

    Great work young man!!!!! The tilt and turn for the motor is genius. I didn’t want to run the cables for a traditional steering like most other yaks. Plus not having a rear hatch makes it hard to run the wires inside the yak (which is what I was thinking) once added a hatch behind my seat and now I’m gonna secure my milk crate with a couple of nuts ,bolts, and washers. I love your diys that so improve the yukon. Your design is impressive and cheap cheap cheap. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

    • @PROAMOUTDOORS
      @PROAMOUTDOORS  Před 2 lety +1

      I have the lifetime angler 116. It’s a cheaper kayak but it’s a tri-hull so I like it. For a good kayak for fishing and stability and you’re looking at a pelican you should go for the catch 100 or the pelican catch 120.
