The video shows you how to perform a great upgrade to your kayak with little to no money. It is absolutely comfortable to sit on and will be great for long days of fishing coming up soon!!
Love the video. I think you have the best plan to upgrading seat. I already have stabilizers on my kayak. And they work great..so now I'll upgrade my seat like your. Thanks for the video. Lone Wofe Lou
I like this. I got a kayak from my cousin and I haven't even used it because the seat is low and I don't want to get my butt wet. I'm going to do this and finally go out to the lake and not wait for perfect weather to take the Job boat out.
I’ve got same seat …..tackle storage underneath now . One suggestion install a rudder …I made my own out of nylon cutting board . Works great tracks straight
Perfect! Just what I was looking for. I just ordered exactly the same seat as yours and it is a little wide for the shape of the original seat. Thanks. Looks like I'll be doing exactly the same work.
Good deal man i did the same...i did mine with Modelo tho...great vid hope it helps some people out there to do the same...cheers...oh yeah nice shirt brother
Cool video thanks for taking the time. In your opinion, does this make the kayak a little bit more stable or no change at all? I am tired of falling into the water without even drinking a Heineken LOL. Is it time for outriggers?
Did you go with the 20 inch extra wide seat? I just got mine and gonna buy a stadium seat. I've heard the 20 inch wide fits a little more snug but want to make sure before I buy. Tight lines!
Hey man, great video! This may be the solution I’ve been looking for. Question...how do you have the seat oriented with the deck loops so you can tightly zip tie them? If you can post a picture that would be awesome! Thanks!
Would you happen to know anyone who rooftops their yaks with the seat attached? I like to rooftop my yak top side down, but the seat won’t fit my roof racks. I tried transporting with topside up, but it felt very uncomfortable. The only solution that I can think of is cut the zip ties before transport and put new ties before getting in the water. Any suggestions are appreciated, thanks.
My cousin always roof topped with his car. Even at 65 mph he never had an issue. He put on after market roof racks and put up 2 kayaks on J hooks. Never fell off.
Always nice to see a fellow New Yorker on here. Great vids. I myself am from central NY in Auburn near Syracuse. My channel is all fishing local waters as well. Feel free to check it out. Tight lines.
Thats awesome. I'm actually staying in Watkin glenn for some time. I have been fishing Seneca lake and Cayuga alot but havent videoed anything in awhile.
@@Melvinskayakfishing my aunt and uncle live in Amsterdam so I fish the Sacandaga quite a bit, and head up to the st Lawrence often.., but fish a lot in between the 2..
Aligned the seat just like in the video but my side rails land right on the 2 front pegs which hold the factory seat in place. What keeping them from walking side to side. Did you add a spacer or shim to run over the top of the pegs?
It does at first but eventually we put down riggers on them for stability. It takes some time getting use to. They best part is when your fishing when it’s chilly your ass don’t get cold or wet lol.
Man that puts so much leverage with the seat back, zip ties to plastic pad eyes with aluminum rivets, nice concept ,but I’m kinda betting against you on this one, but I will say got luck
We have had no issues with the seat in its location. Actually, worked amazingly which the seat is still on the kayaks to the day. You can pick up the entire kayak from those zip tied eyelets.
For us zip ties are cheap and easy to replace. They also have the ability to work if it isn't lined up perfectly straight. Give it a try and let us know if you like it that way.
Do you really think that has an edge on succeeding with proving a point? I mean don't get me wrong the world is falling apart but politics and fishing just don't go together. lol
