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

Lol. It was pretty painful to push down on that drill gun

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:

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

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