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 - 5 years ago

Oh yeah, that would make the bungees stay in one spot. Great idea!

Just can't get past the damn shoes.... Everything else, bad pass..

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

Jakemynameis - 5 years ago

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 - 5 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

Jakemynameis - 5 years ago

What ever works and catches fish, right?! Lol

Nice vid. Whats the trolly used for?

Jakemynameis - 5 years ago

Thanks! It was used for my anchor. So I could position it to the front, middle, or rear of my kayak!

reddreaper - 5 years ago

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!

MY next video we feature a build out of this yak using some Mobbin Outdoors Upgrades. Trying to build the most tricked out fishing yak I can for under $500. Thanks for the rundown!

Jakemynameis - 5 years ago

thank you!

Headwaters Kayak - 5 years ago

Sick! I’ll sub so I can follow your adventures.

Did the seat affect the stability?

Michigan AmBush Outdoors - 5 years ago

Jakemynameis thanks

Jakemynameis - 5 years ago

Michigan AmBush Outdoors I did not feel anything different in stability. It does make you a little higher, but not much rocking.

John Ophus - 5 years ago

hey what is your seat mod where can i buy that?

Jakemynameis - 5 years ago

John Ophus I got it from Amazon here! Cascade Mountain Tech Stadium Seats for Bleachers https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06Y1LRH87/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_lI2dBbR4XNC0V

Still waiting for a video of this yak in action. Would be nice to see the mods , on the water.

Captain_Dirt - 6 years ago

We don't need to see a fishing video , just a video of the yak , in the water. I am looking for a yak this year but i don't want to spend $750.00 , for something i might not use much , so , I'm looking for ....more of a budget starter yak. Thanks foe the reply.

Thanks for these ideas.

Richard Britt - 6 years ago

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.

Jakemynameis - 6 years ago

that sounds really interesting, actually. I'll look into that!

Beastmde - 6 years ago

Don't think those golf balls turned out black lmao

Kevin Johnson - 6 years ago

Was your new seat the regular or the wide version of the cascade stadium seat?

Jakemynameis - 6 years ago

I got the regular width seat! Fits perfectly

Adam Jiries - 6 years ago

Where did you buy it for $170? That’s very cheap for a tamarack and I’m looking to buy one soon

Jakemynameis - 6 years ago

Adam Jiries I bought it from a local store here that buys liquidations. I was lucky to get it before anyone else!

Richard Lewis - 6 years ago

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.

Michaelo Rocha - 6 years ago

Good video. Put something under the milk crate so as not to scuff it there?

Antrigen - 6 years ago

I have two kayaks and no matter how well you take care of them they will get scratched up.

Jakemynameis - 6 years ago

Michaelo Rocha I don’t have anything under it currently, but maybe in the future, I’ll put something!

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 - 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! - 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! - 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?

Will C Bassin! - 6 years ago

Nice video.

Jakemynameis - 6 years ago

Willie Chavez thank you!
