My custom Pelican

Post by privatepilot »

The tower was out of pvc for $30. I attached some crab trap bouys to some aluminum for my riggers. Now I can stand up with ease

Kayak looks good and stable.

That's not the Perdido Key area, is it?

How is the tower attached to the kayak?

I had to drill 2" holes into the kayak. The legs of the tower fit right in. Then I attached two 90 degree brackets to the back of the kayak. The legs are held in by a bolt and nut going through the pvc and bracket

Great looking, inexpensive copy of the Stand N Fish product (http://standnfish.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;). I may copy you. :salute:
Being out on the water in the kayak is the prize. Catching fish is the bonus.

Just out of curiosity, if you have outriggers, why the tower? Are you sitting up there?
Please, call me Kate

The tower was mainly used for leaning on. I wanted something I could grab on to if I needed it.
