This is exactly what I had planned for the rack I'm going to make. looks sweeet man. and a killer way to have it double for use on your boat. Those extension cord rope holders are bad ass! siebler got me on those.

I Probably should'nt say it... but Nice Rack!
I carry my nets on a very similar PVC rack on my kayak. I only have two upright poles, as I don't have a boat to flip it over on! I leave the uprights unglued so that I can bend them down for easy transport of the yak. And I just zip tie it to the yak. It works pretty good. Up position: Down Position: Quote:
I'll stick to the tied and weighted line technique that Jim Salazar uses in his Book, and seminars. It works really well, even in really high waves and current, as everything slides through the buoy easily. |

I've had rope in my prop before, it's not fun. I got those extension cord winding thingy's from wallfart for 96 cents apiece. There is a 4 oz weight in the middle of each one, so they sink out. I got four legs sticking up because the nets fit snug in there. It was an accident that it works in my boat too.

Why would you hoop from your kayak if you have a boat?

Because boats are a pain half the time. Launching, Loading, washing, etc. Not to mention you can run a yak into the rocks without problems.
As for the extension cord thing. As long as you dont leave miles of scope on your hoop there isnt a problem with it. I go this rout because it is much easier to keep long lengths of line on your hoops without having to bundle it up and such. Just wind to where you want it then throw a half hitch onto the little cleat to hold your line. |

Dude, I ask myself that everytime when I've been skunked and getting my ass kicked by the wind on the 4 mile paddle in. That's what I do too. Never had a problem yet. |

Here is a another rack idea...
I made this to fit my Trident 15.
I haven't glued the frame together yet, so it might change a bit. When I zip-tied it to the yak, it was very secure. To get the Scotty base to fit into the PVC fitting, I used a miter saw and a dremel tool. I then used epoxy adhesive to secure those two parts together. A work in progress... Jason |

Nice custom fitting for the spaces, and I like how you incorporated the stern light into the rack too.
And here I thought I was the only one with a carpeted garage. |
