Re: Plastic Surgery, Butt Lift...
Good idea Bro
Re: Plastic Surgery, Butt Lift...
Just make sure to go slow so you don't leave scars all over the flats.
Re: Plastic Surgery, Butt Lift...
very inventive idea,
i was thinking you were gonna mount a wheel assembly at the back
i don't see why sit on top kayak manufactures don't include replace able pads standard,
i had a sit in side old town that had one, very nice feature

Re: Plastic Surgery, Butt Lift...
Nice mod, great way to make the kayak last a lot longer, definitely one of the 1st area's to go. Jackson Kayak just came out with the Coosa and it has a replaceable skid plate this is the 1st fishing kayak with this feature to my knowledge.

Re: Plastic Surgery, Butt Lift...
My question would be.....how in the world did you end up getting it that thin and only thin on one side. did it go road surfing. most of the rash on the bottom of mine is somewhat uniformed not eat up one one side

Re: Plastic Surgery, Butt Lift...
Very interesting G! I like the idea. I am envisioning all kind of future possibilities for that idea. Teflon coatings, etc. You can buy strips to apply over the V of boat hulls...why not kayaks?

When you drag a kayak it tends to lean to one side. And if you fish as much as G does you will have yours looking like that in no time.
And Ms.Addicted I mentioned the strips to him but he is a do it yourselfer to the core.

It was all my bad, had I utilized a longer bow rope to drag it it woulda drug flat, mine was short and it always tilted to that side...Live and learn I guess...

Re: Plastic Surgery, Butt Lift...
I like it G, I really do. I drag my yak all the time and I wonder about wearing through or wearing thin. I'm not sure those boat strips would adhere well enough either. I wasnt thinking "why didnt you use them" but rather more along the lines of "sounds like you have a new kayak invention".
