Thanks. It took 8 years and many changes to get it to this point where it serves me well.

How do you like the decked drawers?

Love ‘em. I’m retired from construction and used them and a ARE topper for tool storage. Sold the topper when I retired as it was too heavy and a pain to get in and out of and really no longer needed.

I store road tools (compressor, jack , hand tools… etc) in one side of the Decked Drawers and fishing gear on the other side (tackle sling, waders, net and  four set up rigs). I now use a roll back cover for the bed and removable ladder rack to carry the canoe but the drawers are the best (lockable) storage solution I have ever found.

Thank You Sir! 

@Motoboss  looks great, nice work.👍👍

Still got that new boat smell 

Upgraded the kayak last weekend to a NuCanoe Unlimited. Took it for a brief spin before adding some upgrades but wind got the better of me. Added my Garmin unit, anchor wizard and Leverloc for some creature comforts. Excited to get it out this weekend and fish with the new addons. 


 

 

The unlimited is on the top of my list! Please post more of what you do with it/your experiences.

My dream for it is - 2cnd 360 seat, pivot drive (with both standard and short cables, for when in tandem mode).

I will definitely keep you posted. I have a kayak tournament this weekend so will be out Friday and Sunday. Later this year I’ll be getting a 2nd 360 for my son so we can get out on some of our smaller waters and we can fish. 

@ak6388 nice looking rid.

Congrats on the new ride!  Hope you enjoy it. 

My boat is so plain. It's just a scuffed hull and terribly tippy. This thread depresses me. You guys have great boats. Even @thediscochef's gravy boat is better looking than my boat.

And it’s also one heck of a fish catching machine…

I'm guessing it would be nearly if not impossible to launch a lot of the boats in this thread where you fish.  Certain boats are better designed for certain bodies of water.  Really, the only other watercraft I could see working where you fish is a kayak.

 

That being said, this thread is arguably my favorite on this forum.  I just like boats in general.  I like looking at them, seeing what others have, and seeing how they are rigged.  I also like going to the boat show here every January in Mpls.  It helps me get through the winter.
