Joe, appreciate the video. Just picked up a Storm and have an RMR 3 bay poly deck frame arriving next week. I'm planning out my build and you gave me a lot of ideas. Interesting that the DRE rod racks are too long. Makes sense. I like your idea of the PVC half rod carriers. I agree it makes sense to have a cooler up front and use as bench. May drill into my Siberian cooler to add seat as you did. How do you like your "U Shaped" thigh bar? Does it give you as fisherman enough support while going down rapids while casting? I've been thinking about the DRE Raft Thigh Brace (Retro Build) - any thoughts there? What are you using for your anchor system? DRE or homemade? (didn't watch close enough when you got to that part). May follow your lead on the platform for bins on the back. Do you think with that frame setup on the stern you could add a seat for a kid to fish off of? Or would it just be too crowded for the rower and the kid trying to fish? Finally, what size PVC did you use for the rod holders? Any tricks to making those that you found? Looks solid as you attached them to the crossbars on the frame. Good stuff. Thanks again.
Hey joe, any regrets on the setup? Less so on the frame and more so on the raft. I’m interested in a setup like this as a spartan fishing rig, but slightly torn about the size
