...not really any rigging yet. I did add an anchor trolley, but that's child's play. This weekend's projects involved transportation, which resulted in a cart and a light bar. Both need a few more things done to them to finish them, but you can get the jest of it.

I wouldn't hold a light bar on with a bungie. It will absolutely fail, probably very soon. Then your light bar is a projectile that could really hurt someone!

That may not be your plan, but that's what it looks like in the picture. Sorry if I'm mis-interpreting your intentions!

No, you are right. I had already decided that it needed to be a strap (and perhaps 2 of them). The bungee was just holding things in place for a photo. My apologies. Please don't try to hold the light bar on your boat with a bungee. I don't want it coming through my windshield.

And Hank, your signature is one of my favorite verses. Such a great story.

I have a couple of questions.

1. If I wanted to mount a gopro camera somewhere, what have you found to be the best way to go about that. I guess this question really has more to do with angles than with actually attaching it. Do you like for it to be behind you, in front, close to the kayak, way up in the air?

2. I don't like for my fishing rods to stick up. I want to lay them down. Any suggestions on what to do. The Raptor has 4 "paddle channels" (for lack of a better term) that I can lay them it, and it works fine. Thought I would ask if anyone had any better ideas.

finished rigging up my depth finder. Probably not going to stay this way, but let's see how it works for now. Since nothing is screwed into anything, it's not a big deal to do something else.


I will likely move the transducer to a scupper hole mount of sorts and figure something else out with the screen.

Depthfinder, new install

Magnets to hold pliers

retractable clips and velcro ties to hold rods or whatever

And my rally monkey

He may be the most important addition. He has kept me from trouble, helped find fish for years, and keeps a watchful eye over all things. Sorry, he is not for sale, nor do I rent monkeys.

Nice job. If you need any asstance with rigging or light bar stuff. I have put nearly every possible attachment on raptors. I also am a welder.

I left off the transducer.

It is mounted to the end of pvc, and run through a hole in the back that is designed for a bait tank. Pool noodle holds it all in place, making it adjustable. And the long pvc doubles as the 360 light stand when needed.

ive always wandered how these boats are paddeling backwards, or if a big boat wake sneaks up on you will it soak your back

I wouldn't know yet. I paddle backwards a little while fishing to stay in position, but that's about it. No problems there.

It paddles backwards almost as fast as forward. No you dont get wet from the back. Ive been in some big water.

I think I want to add a gear track but where I want it is not accessible from underneath. I've looked at the available items and I can't figure out which one works for what I want to put it. So which item for an 8 inch teach without access underneath. And it won't be holding anything heavier than a depth finder

Some new Kayak Bling in reflective vinyl.
