Offshore Revo Setup

I just thought I would share this clip with the VYAK crew so as you can get a few ideas for your yak setup. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mexZa1uZjlw Everyone is different, and there is heaps of info out there. This is one of the newer ones that is simple and cheap (ish). Some of the stuff here is...

Re: Adventure Island trailer mod

Thanks for the comments and feed back. Stainless legs and stainless tabs that the timber frame is bolted to with stainless bolts. The ply is structural ply, not marine and is screwed together with screws designed for use with t/pine. It will be painted outside, perhaps inside, but all the gear sits...

Re: Adventure Island trailer mod

Hey Mav;
That looks perfect for storage.
Is that marine ply or just run of the mill stuff?
And did you use ss screws or just gal nails?
What coating did you use for the inside and outside?
Normal plastic paint or epoxy?

Thanks for sharing. :thumbsup:

Re: Oh oh. It's not going to end well.

As you will well know Mav, it can happen as quick as that. Confidence is a great thing to have, but sometimes backing out, pulling back or whatever you want to call it, is a wiser option. It's not being a pu###, or whatever, it's judging the situation and making maybe a life changing decision. Maybe...

Oh oh. It's not going to end well.

Now this is one lucky pair of yakkers that's for sure. Lucky they had heir PFD's on, and help was nearby. When you look at the footage, the whole thing is predictable and avoidable. To all you new to kayak fishing, and those not so confident 'seasoned' paddlers, watch this clip and learn from their ...

I don't know if you have been following The Lateral Line. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gz1JtKwOQHQ These were the Bug Engry Fush guys from NZ. They have gone into smaller production using only a mobile phone for filming. Their new custom built boat is a ripper. Lots of interesting features includ...

Re: Fitting out the 2130 Hobie outback

30mm plumbing pipe to suit. This way with the T's, it gives you more room to get the esky closer to the seat and not waste so much of the rear well. And for the older body, it makes it easier to access. The uprights have a slot cut in them for the reels to sit down below the top flare and also a rot...
