I think this is your most intense build, one with the most ingenuity and the most useful/needed. I have to be honest with myself, as much as I'd love to have that add on, I'll probably never spend the effort. Nice job Marty.

Marty, you are a true craftsman and an artist! Great work!

Man you really know your stuff when it comes to these Boats and kayaks.excellent.job.

I echo the comments about your craftsmanship, but it is your creative ideas for the modifications that are most impressive. Many thanks for the inspiration!

Marty, you do some amazing work!

Marty you are half genius and half crazy I love it. Nothing is impossible in your mind. Truly talented

you're one of if not the most creative people I've ever come across. it amazes me just how much DIY projects that you can do. you've really got to know what you're doing and obviously you do

that's slick man! you definitely think outside the box. I like how you pay attention to the small details. I think that's what makes your builds so interesting. some things I would never think to do untill I see you do it and it such an obvious/functional detail. lol. like the metal trim. makes total sense but I would have never thought to do it myself.

Marty, you are one bad ass craftsman.

The sped up humming really made this video. Thanks for the vid.

Marty, thanks for making such good videos that are clean so I can watch them with my family. You may cuss like a sailor (kayaker?) off camera but you always are considerate here. So rare. Thanks.

love the speedy cartoon voices in the video!

Such amazing eye for detail and craftsmanship. You sir, are quite incredible!

Wow!!!! No doubt it is not for the average person. I actually understood completely what you were doing and have the tools. There is no way I would attempt that one. You did a fantastic job. Great attention to detail. Your ingenuity is amazing. Its one of those things that a company cannot make it cost effectively because so few people would spend the money for what you made. That is why I find myself making things for my boats. Extremely well done video and very nice job. I'm impressed!!!

Great video. It's nice to see the work you put into customizing your boats. I appreciate your work and it's not even my kayak!

That was extremely well done! A day in the shop is second only to a day on the water. Cheers!

I couldn't stop watching. Great job.

wow that is a pretty cool project. Great work.

*Marty your fabrication-skills are outstanding :) your previous background in the building-industry is a big plus, too.*

Your ideas and execution are excellent. Thank you.

Nice work Marty! I definitely enjoy watching the clip.

Again you amaze us with your amazing talent......TOTALLY BRILLIANT. !

wow you sure put a lot into that project!!! Insane woodworking skills bro...

If a kayak company took you on as a kayak accessory engineer, both you and company would make a lot of money.

Masterpiece! The creativity! I need to learn your craftsmanship! Indeed you are a perfectionist! It came out perfect my friend.

King of the DIYers

Dude I remember when you barely had 2000 subscribers and now you're at 100k. Glad to see your doing so well, keep up the great work !!!!!!

that's awesome workmanship, as usual! It's also a reason I got the Kaku Wahoo.... built in micro power pole mount!

VERY well thought out and built

another great Zoff vid! always informative and entertaining! ty Zoff!

meanwhile, I'm over here, too afraid to put even an anchor trolley on my kayak.

Love it, always drilling holes in your boats like the mad scientist you are. Plus it doesn't seem like any extra noticeable weight . Thumbs up from me.

so far ...every video that i have watched of your .... you have impressed me ... great job....

That was such an awesome build. Takes a lot of guts to cut into a brand new kayak.

incredible craftsmanship!!! wow!

why you gotta post this now, Marty? now I cant go to bed until i watch it!

almost to 100k! Congrats Man!

Another great vid keep them coming!!!!

Outstanding, that was straight up engineer work there Zoffinger.. Like all your videos. Keep up the great work.👍

That humming tho. Nice work mate.

You are getting close to 100,000 subs can't wait

A lot of tidy work you have done!

Just subscribed. You my friend are on another level when it comes to "rigging a kayak" lol

Awesome video! Very creative with mad skills!

What you do with simple tools puts me to shame. Very inspiring--thanks!

great workmanship

Excellent craftsmanship

Great video! I will have to make one for myself when I get a kayak.

awesome video, you are a craftsmen!

great work, great video great mad scientist

why you melt the kayak if you can cut the wood ?

Awesome job my friend , your woodworking skills are top notch 💯

Great idea, work and final product. Good for you sir great job.

wow..! what an awesome project! just perfect and very nice details! 😎👌👍👏👏👏👏👏

Nice! Going to have to give this a shot

I wish I was half as creative as you haha! That was fun to watch, another great video man.

Love it marty !

Almost 100k subscribers! Let's go Marty!

I really like you DIY videos. Please make more

Truly a labor of love. No wonder you don't work for the mfgr. (your good ideas are too expensive for them) I bet your labor rate for this one modification outpaced the total cost of the entire kyak. Good job, GREAT VIDEO Especially loved to see you hired Alvin for the narration.

why did it take half a dozen times of watching this to realize you were humming the Pinky and the Brain theme song while bending the aluminum? LOVE IT!

Marty, this was great. Your sense of style and creativity showed through on the project, it was a few steps away from becoming a piece of art like a TIKI, LOL . Also, you made it without a lot of big shop tools. thumbs up!!

fantastic work.

Absolutely Amazing

Crazy engineering

there is something therapeutic about watching you build lol

Excellent job

Nicely done sir, I wish I had the patience to build something like that ☺

brilliant guy. i'm surprised one of these kayak companies hasn't hired u to do some consulting or design work.

your a talented guy! 2 thumbs up

Mad skills. Impressive.

That's awesome dude.

Good job mate👍👍👍

Marty you are sooo close to having 100k subs. its been cool watching your channel grow!

why didn't you scribe the top of it to the kayak instead of melting it?

Lol the closest thing I did to this is I made my own topwater popper lure in my latest video, you really do some amazing work nice job with that whole setup!!

Marty.....you REALLY like the tiki gods....so much so that you either purposely or subconsciously add them to everything! Around the minute mark and your cut out board with the PVC pipes already has a tiki god appearance! FYI...Love the channel and inspiration .....just bought 2 (wife & I) Ascend 128T kayaks and I'm dying to start modding them out and get on the waters. In short time our home waters will be Charleston SC....but hopefully we can load em up and check out your waters soon!

You certainly have a lot of patience, Marty! And from the sound of your voice, a lot of helium! Lol

very innovative!

Great ,nice job bro.

I myself wouldn't have attempted that but I must say you are either crazy or very talented I say both by the way keep up with all classically cool videos , Awesome channel 👍

I do not know about the other plastic you mentioned, but Ram X has been around for decades on other boats, especially Coleman Canoes, Yaks etc. Very good construction, BTW! I have Roto-Molded yaks...4 of them, and doubt highly if they would be as flexible while heating as the Ram X looks! Great Vid, thanks!

I love it bro! But in the future I recommend using Tightbond III to glue up the wood, it's exterior grade and it's an amazing product.

Another great idea! You should find someone with a CnC machine and have him turn them out for you and sell them!

W O W Very nice work Sir!

A clever man, would like his talent

I wish i had a sponsor from pelican like you. Im 13 and love kayak fishing i have a pelican soul 120. I live right on the water so I could launch from my backyard and fish it would be nice to have more than 1 kayak so I could fish with my friends and have a good time.

man you're so close to 100,000 subs

Thats awesome

Marty! What happened to the paddle board? I would love to see more videos of you and that board!

God I need something like this for my bass raider

Absolute expert craftsmanship!

Thank man! Really appreciate it!!! So well made! I wonder if this is a piece you can hand over to Pelican and they can laser measure it so it can be mass produced :)

That's awesome

so fantastic

You work fast Marty.

not too shabby ...not too shabby at all

Well done

that's awesome

Yo Zo! Love this style of video. The fast forward with breaks giving little explanations. Keep up the good stuff. You are my kayak go to mod master. I have a question. What material did you use to cover the hole you put back together? @15:10 you are everything the piece back on. What is the black stuff the original plastic piece you cut out is sitting on?
