The final stages of building our new Old Town Sportsman PDL 120! We were fortunate enough to have the old hull replaced under warranty, but that meant switching all of our accessories over to the new hull. After 3 seasons of Kayak Fishing we finally put all of the puzzle pieces together to make this the Ultimate Salt Water Fishing Kayak!

My suggestion is to use a action hat gopro mount or a chest mount if you want people to see better

@kckayakfishing 5 ай бұрын

Action hat is definitely something we're looking at. Our plan is to have 2 Go Pros each so the angles are endless, and we can switch it up each video! 🙌🙌

What size wire loom did you use for your cables?

@kckayakfishing 28 күн бұрын

Good question, we probably should of included that in the video. It's 1/2" loom. Thanks for watching! 🙌

@@kckayakfishing Awesome, that's what I figured but wanted to be sure before I bought some. I'm setting up my 120 sportsman based around you're build, it's so well thought out and functional.

@johnmelendres8974 awesome! We absolutely love the way our 120's turned out, simple but effective! Good luck with the build! Any other questions, you know where to find us! 🙌🙌

What was the original issue that required the warranty replacement?

@kckayakfishing Ай бұрын

The hull was cracked under the seat just behind the rudder deployment handle. There's a foam block inside the hull that supports the seat, and it had shifted so there was no support under the seat. The foam support block is just siliconed in place so now we check them every couple trips to make sure they haven't moved. Thanks for watching!

@thbrtmn Ай бұрын

Thanks for the info. I will keep an eye on that.

@kckayakfishing Ай бұрын

@@thbrtmn no problem at all! We've since added some 1/2" starboard where the back of the seat sits, hoping to beef it up and disperse some of the weight in case that foam block ever shifts again 🤞 Thanks for watching!

Just curious will that rod holder stand up to a 50 or 60lb catfish

@kckayakfishing 4 ай бұрын

Can't say for sure because we've never tried, but it works great for 20lb Salmon!

Where did you get your keel guard from?

@kckayakfishing 4 ай бұрын

We made them out of a 12" x 24" sheet of kydex which worked perfect for making two keel guards out of one sheet. It is .08" thick. Tons of kydex options on Amazon which is where we got the sheet from.
