    Pat, nice setup...I too have the L4. Consider listing the equipment like the fuel bottles and is that PVC holders they're in? Can u estimate total weight with all the addons please? I'm not small either and although its listed at 700# carrying capacity, I'm curious to see its performance loaded out. Thanks!

      @@mkehr1207 Thanks! The fuel bottles I got of Amazon, can’t remember the name of them. Just do a search for 1500 ML aluminum fuel bottle and they should come up. The holders are 4 inch PVC pipe cut down in size. I would guess all in including the outboard, trolling motor battery and cooler about 200 pound or just north of that.

    Have you used it with just the trolling motor? If so, did you have to add a rudder to keep it going straight?

    • @shallowwaterguy4755
      @shallowwaterguy4755 3 месяца назад

      Yes I have. It would need a rudder if I put the TM up front but I believe next time I do it I’ll put the motor in the rear. It’s transom mount

    • @michaelsefchek5116
      @michaelsefchek5116 3 месяца назад +2

      It's gotta be like $10k, the "paddle board" alone is like $4k the motor is $2500ish, the trolling motor and battery $2k. Cooler, light, and rod holders add $700.
      It works for a super specific situation, and if you have money to burn. It's for the guy that can't afford or have a real boat but still wants a boat.

      Good thing about this type of board is you can customize it the way you want and for your budget. I think a low end build would be around 5k. Or like anything else you can spend as much as you want.

      I own a 22’ bay boat but bought a competitor’s hybrid paddleboard and put a 2.5 hp on the back. Total game changer. I’m seeing exponentially more reds with this rig than I can with the boat and I can get up in mangrove creeks and ponds that I couldn’t reach with the boat. I can reach mangrove shorelines hours before it’s deep enough to float a boat. I also understand the storage issue. My boat is on a lift and I can’t keep a poling or micro skiff or gheenoe on a trailer in my yard because of my HOA. My hybrid paddleboard fits in the garage and in the bed of my pick up. It doesn’t replace my boat, but it allows me to fish where and when my boat can’t.

    • @Saltstrong
      @Saltstrong  3 месяца назад +1

      @shallowwaterguy4755 nailed it-the storage space requirement is significantly lower, so Coach Pat is able to keep it at his home and fish a far wider range than in his kayak.

    • @SUPCustoms-yx7vx

      These setups aren’t in the Gheenoe or boat category. There’s a need for both. We love the feel of a SUP in the backcountry. There’s just something peaceful about it. We defy the tides too. We won’t see a boat or Gheenoe for hours while fishing low tides. Remember, fish are more in reach during low tides. We love the fact that you can throw it in the truck bed or car roof and just go. Our setups really thrive during negative tides where putting in off roadside is the only option to reach trapped fish. There are some used Gheenoes, Jon Boats and boats under $8k, but not many that have all the accessories, and everything is new. Boating has gotten expensive. You can get a trolling motor setup with us for under $3500. That will go for miles too💯

      @Saltstrong  3 месяца назад +2

      If you've got the storage space, a Gheenoe is a fantastic option. For Coach Pat, that was an issue, and since this one doesn't require a trailer, it works better for him.
