The boat itself looks pretty basic. The openness of a canoe does not leave a lot of options for mounting. But a closer look reveals the little details that can make a day on the water a bit more enjoyable.

Native uses the Adapt-A-Track with some nice accessories that was just what Sharon was looking for. This pouch holds everything she usually has scattered about the floor. Leader material, dehooker, tackle box, lipper gripper, etc. We also attached a Scotty mount triple rod holder to her milk crate to keep the rods neatly out of the way.

The same mesh material they use on the seats is also used for the accessory pouches. This bottle bag is a perfect drink holder for can soda, bottle drinks or even a sport bottle. With the Adapt-A-Track, it can slide anywhere along the boat to be tucked neatly out of the way.

I have never purchased an anchor trolley "kit" because I always felt that the kits were not the same design or quality that I would get if I pieced it together myself. I must say it is about time that someone started paying attention to stuff we actually use. I saw a couple of different kits that looked like they had it together. Pricing was questionable but not totally unreasonable.

Sometimes a mistake can turn into a moment of brilliance. Sharon originally wanted the paddle on the side of the boat. After I mounted the paddle keeper I immediately noticed the flaw of having it there. It was not very stable and a wave could easily grab it while paddling in chop or through boat wakes. I was also trying to figure out a way to keep the full length anchor trolley from sliding under the boat. We saw Sam @ Bill Jacksons and he told us a story about getting an anchor trolley wrapped in the prop. The keeper was in perfect position so that the paddle can rest on the top deck which keeps it high and stable. The keeper also doubles as a trolley keeper to keep the ropes from sliding under the boat.

I got the thumbs up so I guess I did alright.
