also, figured out a way to get rod storage in there? I forgot, haven't seen your yak in a while, isn't there a bulkhead behind the seat or did you cut that out. the yak's long enough for sure, for putting rods in the hatch if you can get them all the way back.
nice work so far. remember you talking about a project like that on the way down to the ontario meeting. guess you're making it happen.
can't wait to fish it with you. hint, hint...as in dude, we ever gonna fish again |
Rob, I put a hatch in, right in front of the seat, that big rectangular hole in the pics; so I can slide 7' rods in toward the front.
Are we ever gonna fish again, you bet. But until I get this project done, I don't don't have a ride; that's why I picked this time of year to get after it.
I did get a chance to do a bit more grinding and Hacking today, so here's the latest:
Oval hole for bait tank
Another angle
From the seat back, for perspective:
Bottom side grinding of gel coat:
Bottom rear
Now all this work made me hungry, so here was dinner:
