Title: canoe modificaitons Post by jaximus on Mar 9th, 2013 at 4:08am
so the canoe came down from the basement rafters the other day. i was out on the river putzing/trolling around and i started to wonder what all you guys have done to your canoes that i havent thought of yet that i should incorporate. even things that arent for canada but are useful for everyday type dealings.
so far ive... 1. rebuilt the yoke for comfort/ease of portaging (the guys actually argue about who gets to carry my canoe) 2. rod holders, i have a permanent mount in the front and back plus a velcroable extra rear holder (for me to have 2 rods in back when im alone) 3. upgraded plastic "bucket" type seats with drain holes 4. *transducer/fish locator mounts in the front and rear 5. velcro in rod storage tubes for easy portages 6. velcro fasteners for paddles for portaging 7. velcro tackle tray mounts for silent/spill free tackle storage 8. *velcro in LED rope lights mounted under the gunnel to prevent night blindness for night fishing with a switch 9. new 1"x3" rear thwart for velcro attachments(pliers, measuring tape, net, tackle trays, flashlight) 10. para-cord stringer with metal fish clips for silent operation *runs on a 12V rechargeable battery the size of 1/2 of a brick on the list of things possibly to do would be... 1. a rear operable front deploying anchor device 2. mounts for night moving lights( i know im not a motor operated vessel, but id rather not get run over) 3. some sort of adjustable camera holder that threads into my cameras tripod mount 4. anything else you guys suggest! |
