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

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.
Being out on the water in the kayak is the prize. Catching fish is the bonus.

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

Re: My custom Pelican
The tower was mainly used for leaning on. I wanted something I could grab on to if I needed it.
