Hey guys,
Jonesz from nor cal here. I've just been reading through a bunch of your posts here on your yak site, and thought I'd register so I can contribute instead of just poach ideas

Already picked up some good ideas. I post regularly on the norcal yak site. I've been looking at a bunch of pics on how guys have set up their FFs on the mast post hole. I did the same, but instead of using 1/2" pvc pipe and taping for a good fit I searched out a perfect fit pipe that's made with aluminum and you can even use the push button clip that comes with it to secure it in more if you want. Just drill a hole in the mast tube where you want it and your done. For me, I found the tube fits so well I didn't use the button. Oh, I guess you wondering where did I find such a perfect match? Some of you may even have it in your garage right now.... Get out your old aluminum crutches and check out the extention tube that extends out of the bottom for size adjustments. It's a perfect fit

I pop riveted a pvc T onto the top, cut it off flat on top so I could mount a piece of plastic to for a base for the FF. Nice, clean, snug, easy to remove and stow. I'm a recent turboed Revo convert and I LOVE that boat. Still working on the pimp job, taking my time to think before I drill. I keep snooping around for ideas and what not. Sorry no pics to share, lost my camera a couple weeks ago, and haven't replaced it yet. Fish on boyz!!!!
