OK BIG GAME PROWLER ROD POD HATCH

[SASQUATCH]

After looking online and not finding too much in the way of making this hatch, I decided to just do it and am quite pleased with the results. Plenty of room for rods and gear and slightly more room than the factory ones that have a wider hatch. More room to come after I make a fiberglass lid which will be narrower, stronger, and a better seal. I know this kayak is a little outdated but it has served me well as I am a pretty big guy and it floats me just fine. After making the cut, I filed the rough edge and applied automotive door trim moulding to dress up the edge. Hopefully this helps for those of us who have the Big Game Prowler still.

Pretty cool setup. I have seen online where someone has made a fiberglass hatch that is pretty awesome. I used to build surfboards for myself and friends and would like to do some fiberglass work for old time sake. Carbon fiber would be overkill but would look pretty badass.

That goes to a nice competitor for the X- Factor Kayak. I like the idea of the rod pod in the middle.
