Great job on the mods. I was thinking of getting this kayak for my daughter. One hack I have for the crate is cut narrow slits on the crate where the bungees go and that way it's more secure and won't move.

Jakemynameis - 6 years ago
Oh yeah, that would make the bungees stay in one spot. Great idea!

Was it top heavy once you got in the water wth all that new stuff on top?

shelia taylor I didn’t feel too heavy at all. I didn’t feel wobbly on the water, but I only took it out on calmer wind days

Hey, when using the retractable clothesline, how do you keep it still, sense the clothesline doesn’t lock in once the Anchor is at the bottom?
Jakemynameis
Jakemynameis - 6 years ago
My anchor trolley kit came with a cleat I tie the rope around when it hits bottom. Takes awhile for my anchor to find something down there to lock on to, though. Maybe I'm just not good. Lol

thanks for the video, I got a patriot 12' at walmart and then a month and a half later (recently) got the pro angler 12' sit-on, stand-up, and I love watching the kayak mod videos. ALWAYS LOOKING FOR MORE UPGRADES!!!

I was looking at one of these right after I bought this one! The same discount store got one in a few weeks after I bought the Tamarack from them. Lol but it was the Sun Dolphin Boss, it’s a great looking rig!

Hey Jake, great job, I've got to remember to record my upgrades to possibly help others as well. With that said, about 4 months ago, I saw a Y.T.V. on pimping a Kayak and what caught my eye was his homemade anchor. If I remember right it consisted of a PVC pipe with 2 HEAVY duty copper ground wire through and bent upward like a treble hook. If the anchor become hooked and unremovable affirm pull on a paracord bent the wire straight and retrieve the anchor. Once in your lap reshape the wires and move to a new location. Just a small FYI to help.

First 8 mile float in my Tamarack I got about a quart of water in my hull. I plan on doing some yakcamping this summer and want to use the hull for storage so I needed to reduce the leaking as much as possible. Over the winter I took apart and silicone sealed every nut, clip, hatch, etc. While doing so I found the clips holding the seat down, around the rod holders, hatches, and handles are definitely problem areas.

Hello Jake. This is still in regards to the kayak sinking cause of the modifications. Did the kayak sink right away or after a few minutes or hours?
Jakemynameis
Jakemynameis - 6 years ago
Willie Chavez idk what you mean by sink? The only water that was on the kayak, was when the paddle would get me wet.
Will C Bassin!
Will C Bassin! - 6 years ago
I was wondering why you haven't made any videos of that bad boy in action with all its new features? I was guessing it's too cold where you're at right now? I was hoping you would fill in the views with info. Like weigh, is it making it harder to paddle, and is it off balance.
Will C Bassin!
Will C Bassin! - 6 years ago
Was it sinking cause of all the new modification? Did you get to try the Kayak before the modification, and was it still sinking? And thank you for replying back. I plan on getting the same kayak and wanted to know if I should just leave it as is or just make a few modifications?
