Nice one Stevo.
Your mods are neat and practical. The seat looks like it's meant to be there.
Cheers,

Re: seat pads, scupper plugs.
That looks great now mate, the old green dunger ghurkin is taking shape. That little yak would be a great river yak where the water is shallow, you will get to spots others only dream about, i would be a bit reluctant to go out wide in the bay on such a small boat though.

Thanks agrojim, found out today after 3 hours out from fishies beach Mornington that the foam is a bit to high density , might look around for something else.agrojim wrote:Nice one Stevo.

Re: seat pads, scupper plugs.
G'day Steve, nice to bump into you today - sorry you bailed before I could grab a picture. Tough fishing today, condtions were perfect though - how did go?
Well past the edge, almost at the point of no return.
