Restoring my new (to me) Prijon Yukon Expedition kayak! (Ep. 2) 

WORLD CLASS facilities and expertise! The folks at the NCPYERRC really outdid themselves this time 😎👍

The netting inside the cockpit is super handy. Keeps things up and off your legs. Thanks for watching!

Thanks Josh...me too!

Lots of work indeed but certainly worth it!

Right on! See ya out there!

Thanks for watching!

That what I have ordered is the WS airpro it will be in on Wed.

I've seen others with the Airpro on a Yukon with comfy results! (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6daLvHtgICE.html). Sounds like Brenda is just going to need a Yukon of her own (or you'll need one for yourself when she takes the blue one😂) Either way, the search continues!

@@crazygrandma2972 You'll love it!

@@SideTrailAdventures Indeed it does brother! Tried to sell her on the Stratos...but she is deadlocked on the Yukon.

I'm certainly fortunate to have the NCPYERRC so close 😎 Looking forward to seeing how your Yukon comes along! I've been enjoying the pics I see on FB 👍👍

@@SideTrailAdventures I have some plans…but if this past 2 years has taught me anything, it is that plans really don’t mean diddly. 😂 Hopefully I can pull them out.

@@mountainsmoore3657 A wise man once told me if you ever want to make God laugh...tell him your plans.

@@SideTrailAdventures someone should write a song about that…😎😂

Right on! Thanks for watching!

Hah, thanks, me too! Once I get the roll nailed down in my whitewater boat I'll give it another whirl. Thanks for watching!

@@SideTrailAdventures at roll practice a few of the club members let me try their boats out. I rolled a tsunami and a tempest. Tsunami wasn't any harder than WW boat. The tempest was super easy. Probably just a matter of getting a good fit with the thigh hooks.

@@joshinfwtx4506 random reply but any chance you'll be able to tune into the River King premiere tonight at 9pm? Pete has allowed me to choose the hat winner from last weeks video challenge and just wanted to make sure you'd be around! 👍

@@SideTrailAdventures Hoping to make it. Gotta get these trucker treaters home

@@joshinfwtx4506 completely get it. Hope you guys are cleaning up everybody's candy! If you can make it, just chime in with a comment so I know you're there and can announce you as the winner. Pete will get you set up with a RK hat 👍

I hear ya on barely getting the boats wet...real life gets in the way of living more often than not. I don't regret any of the mods I've done to my Yukon. In fact I just finished modding out my red yukon that hasn't made its debut yet, but did it pretty much the same way. I will say that the rear bulkhead in the cockpit took some wear and tear when I stored my helmet back there on the Deep River trip. I had considered getting some hard plastic to protect the foam but just haven't pulled the trigger. Also I've added some thin foam where your knees rest on the inside of the boat. Lesson learned on the Deep River was that the hard plastic on the knees for 6 days takes a toll. Hope you can get her out some this summer!

Truth be told, the skirt fits, but not great. I'm going to trim it down a bit to make it work a little better. Thanks for watching!

The gudgeon was already on the kayak I found but all of my accessories came from Paths, Peaks, and Paddles (pathspeakspaddles.com/). It doesn't look like they have a Prijon gudgeon but they do have all the other seemingly impossible to find accessories. Maybe they'd be able to track one down? Thanks for watching!

This is the one I used. This place is the only US dealer I know of selling this stuff new. Sometimes you can get lucky on ebay or FB marketplace with a used set. Good luck with the project! pathspeakspaddles.com/shop/prijon-rudder/

@@SideTrailAdventures Thank You

I suspect my inability to roll has more to do with me than the boat but thanks for the tip.

Probably not what you're looking for but this is what I used for all of the bolts, etc. (smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01JTN0XUA/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie=UTF8&psc=1). Good luck!

@@SideTrailAdventures Thank You, I ordered a bolt kit I found online, but I will use this in future projects

Right on👍!

Yeah, my roll is a work in progress. I had it last year but barely, then didn't get back in a boat for a while. For the actual trips, I use a 220 paddle but just happened to have the WW paddle handy for this video. I ended up with a Yukon Tour as well that is on loan to River King Pete. He uses it as a race boat. Just great boats. I wish Prijon would make them again...nothing else like it out there. Thanks for the tips and thanks for watching!

Hahah, yup! The swimmer bell and I are well acquainted 😂

This is who I got mine from. It's pricey but I haven't regretted the decision. Thanks for watching! pathspeakspaddles.com/shop/prijon-rudder/
