The Most DIY Kayak Ever!!! 

That stick steer and tilt/trim trolling motor has to be the slickest mod ive seen yet. A bit bulky in the mount, but SO practical....well done sir!

I’ve been DIYing my kayak. Couldn’t resist.. I was the kid who had to modify his toys.. I just ran across your video.. I am humbled by your genius and will consider you a Master.🙏🏻😎🇺🇸 I used to watch my grandpa make his own tools for some specific purpose on the farm all the time..🇺🇸

Mannnnnn that actuator is a GENIUS idea! Awesome setup

You definitely thought those modifications through!!! Very informative and great job with upgrades!

Well done, sir. Very impressed with your DIY Yak upgrades. Good stuff. Thanks for sharing.

impressive creativity

Seen your kayak at a stop light and knew it was something special. I didn't know it had all of this! Great stuff.

Great video. Keep them coming. Giving us great ideas.

Great video!! You’re VERY good AT DIY !!

I love that we both had a very similar idea for the lighting I used a simple 2 pin landscape light led works like a charm and I mounted it similarly

seems like it would be top heavy with all that gear and higher seat, therefore more prone to tipping? how is it regarding that? or do you plan to build stabilizers so when you lean to pick up a fish, it won't roll and dump you? Very neat engineering you did!!

Well ur right that is a very diy’ed yak! Awesome job wish I had that ability! Keep em coming

Sweet brotha like the DIYs gonna have 2 try !

Damn. Are you an engineer? Or I gotta ask what ur profession is because this is some craftsmanship.

sir! realy awesome modding!

That actuator wheel system will be awesome.

Did you make a video on how to make the shallow water stake out pole system?

Nice set of mods... One thing I don't see though is boat tags/numbers displayed on the kayak. It's motorized and therefore required to be registered/tagged if on Texas public waters (Brazos Park East, etc). Remove the motor and no registration/tags required in Texas. Good luck - eventually you will get cited.

Wow that trolling motor is some cool stuff!!!

Novice dude kayak guy from Englewood Florida, kayak Big fishing 120, 36 lbs thrust trolling , Weize 12V- 100 amp/hours, Anchor Wizard, love your ideas

What a great DIY ideas. If you ever make another trolling motor set up I'll be the first one in line. Please let me know. Love your channel

Man you made diy power poles..that’s smart

Helllllll Yeahh Mark Keep em comin

Awesome

That stick stear is awesome cool yak sir

Great work young man!!!!! The tilt and turn for the motor is genius. I didn’t want to run the cables for a traditional steering like most other yaks. Plus not having a rear hatch makes it hard to run the wires inside the yak (which is what I was thinking) once added a hatch behind my seat and now I’m gonna secure my milk crate with a couple of nuts ,bolts, and washers. I love your diys that so improve the yukon. Your design is impressive and cheap cheap cheap. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

I think the craziest kayak mod I did on my Brooklyn RA 220 was to convert the foot controlled rudder to a hand controlled rudder or perhaps making my own keel guards out of schedule 40, 2.5 inch pvc pipe.

New to your channel, love it ! Will you do a more detailed video of your steering? The idea is amazing

What’s the kayak name/brand? Love the complete kayak makeover. A fisherman’s dreams

I like the seat mod but I only have the Tamarack pro it would be tipsy. The Yukon is made to stand up and fish

Was going to jack with ya about seeing it done before, but i think you know bs when you see it or hear it. Lol. No, seriously fantastic video and dyi inovations. Keep em comming. Take care and stay safe.

Nice engineering dude!

it seems like a lot of weight for that kayak. how much is your kayak's capacity?

Love the trolling motor! I was in a bad car wreck and need a trolling motor to kayak now. What kayak do you use. I've been looking at a Pelican Sentinel.

It does light up and fly after dark right?

Easy when your a genius I guess 👍🏼

Pretty bad ass

With the trolling motor do you have to register the kayak as a water craft or boat?

What I don't understand yet is once the f-35 raptor takes off how is it supposed to land again.? Oh wait it's a v t o l no prob

While definitely impressive, unless you actually built the boat from scratch, it will never be the most DIY ever. Many people have started from raw materials (wood, fiberglass, foam, etc..) and completely diyed their kayaks.

Over loaded kayak.

Dude, if you need a motor, just get a boat.

Damn,just buy a boat

No thanks

Nope……. 👎
