I found some collapsable window shades at dollar store 4 bucks gives you 2 pcs @ 27.7"×30.5". One fits perfect no tie downs from under back of seat and cage . The other goes under front of seat and just before where you rest your feet on bars. Use the seat mesh provided to cover seam of both. Friction fit on both. Durable material and is water proof. Collapses into 10"diameter ring when not in use. When not in use i use a shower curtain ring to fasten to cage. Try it it works great. I use 2 gumby straps to keep back one above water by crossing them over underneath. Resting shade ontop . Called "front twist shade" made by PROAUTO. Works dandy try it..
Fantastic video man. It's cool to see how your setup is evolving. It's also obvious from your voice that you have been having a lot of fun with this rig. Lots of fun to watch - One of my favorite videos so far!
It's not worth a video since all I did was purchased a piece of rod that fits perfectly into the wheel hubs then drilled two holes at the ends so the r-pins can go in and keep the wheels in place. Too simple and since I didn't want to use different tires I just got matching ones at Harbor Freight instead
@@titanpredatorwolf7653 So....Thank you guys on youube for ideas on mods. This is what I did. I made landing gear from an old hand golf cart. the wheels retract and extend with a lever at the front....this works great. The unit fits perfect. Wheels are quick detach....unit is VERY light..lighter than the single wheel assm. you get with the XT. Bolts right to the same attachment points. I wish I could post pics.
Lol I have the single wheel on my fish cat and thinking of doing a setup like this cause I have nerve damage in my hands and anything that can make it easier the better. Right now my longest walk to one of my fishing ponds is about one and a half miles. Super long walk with this thing so I try to carry everything that I can in my pack. And keep the toon as light as possible. It's honestly not THAT bad. But I think a two wheel setup will help a lot. The only issue I can think of is right now I just take my wheel off and bungee it to the back of my pontoon and it stays there perfectly out if the way while I fish. With the two wheel setup I'm sure I would have to leave it on the bank and hide it in some bushes or something to keep those sticky finger people off it. So I'm torn right now.
Good job! I always have trouble with my oars moving around and getting in the way while I fish. It looks like you’ve made a brace to hold them in place. How did you make it? I’m guessing it has something that goes through the oar lock hole on the rear side. Is that correct?
Great videos Ramon Olivas. I love this video and the previous one. How's your fishing trip so far? How good is the fish finder? I really interested in the idea of connecting the motor and be able to take it off whenever you want. Could you please tell me where you get the electrical connection outlet? Many thanks.
Hey bud. on the wheel mod, can you maybe email a pic of the side of the wheel and show how you have it connected to the rod? I found a rod but I don't know how you have the wheel attached to it
TightLineAdventures I drilled a tiny hole close to the end so I could stick an R-pin in them and hold the wheels in, I also used the same 1" black poly pipe to keep them in place. Just make sure you take it off when in the water as it makes a lot of noise as you're moving through the water with the poly line rattling on the metal rod.
I found the plug and hardware for the trolling motor at Academy and I have a pickup so it's not an issue for me however I saw a video on here of a guy who is able to fit one in the trunk of his Honda Civic, I too own a Civic and they do have a huge trunk in them for such a tiny car
Where do you keep the fish? Would a live well work or must you use a cooler? What anchor would you recommend, or are you using the mesh bag with rocks?
I have yet to catch anything huge, if that ever happens they'll go on a stringer other than that I throw em in my cooler I usually keep in the rack behind me, I do use the mesh bag with a rock as an anchor but lately I added a drift sock and it mad a huge difference as well as a fin underneath for better control
What was up with the big white board last video? I would like that cause I'm a kid my legs aren't as long and I could stand up a bit. How'd you do that?
ruclips.net/video/wvPLKgcUdVM/видео.html Here is a link for a standing platform. He has great ideas as well. I have been going back and fourth on if I want my motor out front or not. I think with a higher seat it would work just fine. But with the right amount of air I have noticed even with the weight in the back. It doesn't sag at all. Love your ideas and set up for the fish finder. I need a good cold rainy day. I have spent money I don't have already wanting to do modifications to mine. Thanks for the video. Boat looks great man. Also on that note. I was thinking of finding some marine wiring that has a plug on each end to wire through the frame so it's out of the way and not a potential hazard if the boat does tip over. But after the white caps I was in on this past Friday. I don't see that happening. Tipping over at least lol.
Hi Raymond. Awesome wheel idea and other mods. My question is how hard or any tricks to putting wheel assembly especially like at lake or wherever. It's a pain. Especially if rack is loaded. Thanks.. Scott

Nate D yes I do love it and thank you for such great ideas man, the only problem I have is not being able to get it out on the water near enough lol
The wheel mod is a must! I'm a small dude and trying to get that thing to the water loaded up with a battery and motor was unruly as heck
Yeah, it's a bitch, I'm actually thinking of making it wider too.
Should make a video on how you built and installed the wheels

Do you ever wish you'd put the trolling motor in the back? I'm just thinking my fly line, would get to tangled? Nice set up
Great Video, how & where do you stow the wheels while fishing?

Steve Gate got that one at Academy Sports and just installed it onto a regular piece of wood.

Doesnt it make it hard to land a ten pound plus fish with the motor in the front like that. Cool set up I'm buying one for the river.
If I ever catch one, I'll let you know
Info on wheels? Mine does not have Square to slide in to?
You used the original single wheel assembly to make the dual wheel? How'd you do it?
Drilled a hole on each end to fit the R-pin and keep the wheels in place.
Check out Williams video too

How do I attached the wheel to pantoon or what do I need
how to bring in the fish with that trolling motor in front of you
What is the purpose of a fishfinder in a xt pontoon in 7 feet of water?
Who said anything about 7 ft of water??
After
the wheel modification, what do you do with the wheel assembly? How do you mount it under the boat?
In the tubing that it came with under the seat.
Where and how do I find the hardware for that plug in for the motor and battery? Is it easy to still fit in a midsize car after you take it apart?

Where did you get the "Y" yoke for the axle?
Dusty Miller came with the boat

@@titanpredatorwolf7653 For your swivel seat did you have to cut down the seat bolts or are they easily replaced?
@@seicair111 no, I was actually able to screw the bolts that came with the boat further into the seat giving me the room for the swivel.
@@titanpredatorwolf7653 Ahh okay that makes sense. Thanks!
@@seicair111 any time

KarbonFishing it was sitting on my picnic table outside
Ramon Olivas Oh. I thought it was a standing platform.
KarbonFishing if you find big kahuna Alabama, he made a stand on his similar to what you're talking about.
Ramon Olivas Thanks for letting me know!
Nice video. How much for your registration and what size, type of battery.
Registration in Texas was $65 for title and registering it then it's $25 every two years and it's a two year sticker
To first get it titled and registered here in Texas was $65 and after that it's $25 every two years.
Just got one where can I get wheel bracket
Mine came with it
What type of rod do I need to get at Home Depot for the wheel mod?
Ryan Wilcox I can't remember, since it's been awhile but I do believe I said the size in the video
Do you leave the wheels on while trolling?
Dave Eccher no sir, the spacers made too much noise
What rod did you get for the wheels?
Just a 5/8" steel rod

what brand / lb. trolling motor
also,..is it tough to get in and out?
Daniel Hawkins Ozark Trail 30lb thrust purchased on Wal-Mart.com for $70 and no not at all once you've got the handle of it.
Are you able to stow the modified wheel assembly in the original way? Or do you have another trick for when you're in the water?
Bruce Rhodes no, I just take it off and leave it in my truck.

@@nnuclear777 I roll mine front first into the water and pick up the ass end once it's floating, makes it so much easier.
