    I think this is your most intense build, one with the most ingenuity and the most useful/needed. I have to be honest with myself, as much as I'd love to have that add on, I'll probably never spend the effort. Nice job Marty.

    Marty, you are a true craftsman and an artist! Great work!

  • @johnoleary214

    I echo the comments about your craftsmanship, but it is your creative ideas for the modifications that are most impressive. Many thanks for the inspiration!

    you're one of if not the most creative people I've ever come across. it amazes me just how much DIY projects that you can do. you've really got to know what you're doing and obviously you do

    @adamwillby Před 7 lety +8

    that's slick man! you definitely think outside the box. I like how you pay attention to the small details. I think that's what makes your builds so interesting. some things I would never think to do untill I see you do it and it such an obvious/functional detail. lol. like the metal trim. makes total sense but I would have never thought to do it myself.

  • @mckmh07167

    That was such an awesome build. Takes a lot of guts to cut into a brand new kayak.

  • @farfromhome7203

    If a kayak company took you on as a kayak accessory engineer, both you and company would make a lot of money.

    Marty, thanks for making such good videos that are clean so I can watch them with my family. You may cuss like a sailor (kayaker?) off camera but you always are considerate here. So rare. Thanks.

  • @ricksmith2042
    @ricksmith2042 Před 7 lety +1

    Wow!!!! No doubt it is not for the average person. I actually understood completely what you were doing and have the tools. There is no way I would attempt that one. You did a fantastic job. Great attention to detail. Your ingenuity is amazing. Its one of those things that a company cannot make it cost effectively because so few people would spend the money for what you made. That is why I find myself making things for my boats. Extremely well done video and very nice job. I'm impressed!!!

    Love it, always drilling holes in your boats like the mad scientist you are. Plus it doesn't seem like any extra noticeable weight . Thumbs up from me.

  • @brianderby145
    @brianderby145 Před 4 lety

    Marty.....you REALLY like the tiki gods....so much so that you either purposely or subconsciously add them to everything! Around the minute mark and your cut out board with the PVC pipes already has a tiki god appearance! FYI...Love the channel and inspiration .....just bought 2 (wife & I) Ascend 128T kayaks and I'm dying to start modding them out and get on the waters. In short time our home waters will be Charleston SC....but hopefully we can load em up and check out your waters soon!

    @RobbsHomemadeLife Před 7 lety

    Marty, this was great. Your sense of style and creativity showed through on the project, it was a few steps away from becoming a piece of art like a TIKI, LOL . Also, you made it without a lot of big shop tools. thumbs up!!

    • @ianmartin2924
      @ianmartin2924 Před 4 lety

      There's a bunch of no screw hole anchor trolley designs on YT. But to be honest, it's two pad eyes either end of the yak. Nothing to worry about. Just make sure you use Stainless nuts and bolts with a silicone bead. You'll be fine.

    I wish i had a sponsor from pelican like you. Im 13 and love kayak fishing i have a pelican soul 120. I live right on the water so I could launch from my backyard and fish it would be nice to have more than 1 kayak so I could fish with my friends and have a good time.

    Truly a labor of love.
    No wonder you don't work for the mfgr. (your good ideas are too expensive for them)
    I bet your labor rate for this one modification outpaced the total cost of the entire kyak.
    Good job, GREAT VIDEO
    Especially loved to see you hired Alvin for the narration.

  • @ratdog3055

    I do not know about the other plastic you mentioned, but Ram X has been around for decades on other boats, especially Coleman Canoes, Yaks etc. Very good construction, BTW! I have Roto-Molded yaks...4 of them, and doubt highly if they would be as flexible while heating as the Ram X looks! Great Vid, thanks!

  • @WaynJul
    @WaynJul Před 7 lety

    You need to start signing some nondisclosure agreements with Pelican. Then have them patent some of your builds like
    this one. They can build one that will fit on the kayak as a extra addition.

  • @kevinhurt7119
    @kevinhurt7119 Před 6 lety

    That pic of Einstein with a Think Different comment could have easily had your image. I can't believe you even thought of that much less craft it to perfection. Congrats on your creativity and ingenuity...should you ever want to sell that kayak and upgrade to something else...let me know.
