Tom's
(Tpw), Ocean Kayak Prowler 13 Angler
Tom's
fish finder base was made using the flush mount from a cheap rod holder,
the extension piece and base for the Finder mount was built from a nylon
cutting board, the two pieces of nylon were glued and screwed together.
Tom finds this modified finder mount brings the display closer to his
seated position, is adjustable for height and angle thus keeping everything
clear of his size 11 boots. The mount can be dismantled and stowed away
in seconds for those difficult beach landings.

The Bic
Tobago has some interesting features, the centre console style childs
seat and built in trolley wheel for easy transportation, not the easiest
kayak to fit out for fishing and Mike has yet to take a drill to her but
that doesn't stop him fishing.

Chris's
(Clooty) Sevylor DiveYak XK2020
Inflatable kayak, with 2.5hp Honda outboard as safety backup. Certain
care has to be taken when using an inflatable kayak, the valves can be
easily knocked causing chamber deflation, they are also highly susceptible
to the wind. The good points are that all this kit fits in the boot of
a family sized saloon.
