Nice job! I just cut out the plywood floor for my Colorado Sevylor. I'm a little "bigger boned" than you so need something that handles more than 210 pounds :) :) I didn't even think about using PVC for the racks. Using the heater to squash the PVC down for between the floor and the sides is genius.
Great video. I admire how much you pay attention to detail. I have this kayak too.
Excellent video, very informative and interesting to watch. Also, I love your Bruce Lee t-shirt
Thanks!
Damn, that's one of the best tutorial videos I've ever seen
Thank you!
Love it!!! I am modding my explorer K2 right now. Didn't think about using PVC for the skeleton. PVC is pretty cheap and easy to work with. Gonna have to take some your ideas and use them to mod mine. Thanks for the video!!!
Good luck and have fun with the project.
Thank you for that man I was about to give up on my inflatable K2 Intex kayak
Nice job! I just bought this kayak but haven't taken it out yet. Looking forward to it! Nice modification!
Thank you!
Once i saw your excursion kayak video i was hooked
So creative. I love it. I just bought my K1, don't even have it yet. I'll have lots of fun this summer, and this will be my winter project. Thank you.
Did you end up making your own rack ?
@@Grievous- No. I had lots of fun with my new K1 last summer. I even bought a second one. But now I do not think this kayak is versatile or robust enough to be worth all the effort shown in this video. It's just a 10 foot long beach ball. I don't expect it to last very long and I would not use it around rocks, sand, waves, wind, or anything other than deep calm water like ponds and small lakes. So all that effort shown here, while very creative, is better put into a different boat if you are serious enough to want to use it for regular fishing.
@@jharuni I agree with you there, it's great for a novelty but not for something you want lots of use out of. I have the K1 and it has a slow leak on the front right side and I'm told that 1 out of 3 inflatable kayaks come like that unfortunately. Going fishing in mine tomorrow on a Lake but staying close to camp.
@@Grievous- One of mine was used about 40 times last summer on a reservoir and developed a tiny hole. Not into the air chamber but into the foot well. Not a big deal, after a couple of hours there's a cup or two of water in the boat. Hopefully this summer I'll buy a grown up kayak. I still think that for $100 the K1 probably provides more fun per dollar than literally anything else on the planet.
Nice DIY, Brah!
You've definitely inspired me to do something similar to my K2 Challenger, which I typically use solo. I don't use the front seat, which is where I put all my gear, so I'm thinking a similar style rack in this front area.
I'm going to highly recommend a PVC cutter though. It cuts through PVC like butter and in seconds! I've got a $3 one from Harbor Freight , which I've been using for years.
Ahh PVC pipes, zip ties and pool noodles! Mans' greatest inventions as far as I'm concern lol
How did it go? Just bought a k2 for sea fishing. What kinds of mods did you do?
Thanks for sharing this! This is what I needed.
Glad you find this video helpful!
Nice video, perfect for guys like me on a budget lol
It's actually not too bad of a kayak. I still use the paddle for another kayak.
Great build instructions mate, clear and detailed but very simple too. Thanks so much 👍👍👍 🎣 🛶
Thanks!👍
What a crazy AWESOME Idea!!!! I Love it! SUb earned. Thx for sharing!
Very well thought out 👍 thanks for sharing
Absolutely phenomenal vid bro- I’ve had a k1 for a bit and would love to do something like this to it.
Thanks!
Great video and thanks for sharing!
no problem! Glad you like it.
Thanks for your tutorial....
Dope mod, very thorough video👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Excellent job my friend !!!!
Thank you! Glad you like the video👍
Bro Iknew 60 seconds into the video you were from Central Valley lol dope
Dude, this is awesome! Great handy work, thanks for sharing.
Thanks! Glad you found this video helpful.
Wooooow fucking Awesome!!
Great idea!
Thanks!
Hello, not much into pipes and stuff but are all the pipes 1" expect the rod holders? So I would get 2 1" 4 way fitting and and so on.
That is amazing ! Genius
Nice job but in my opinion If the basket is made of iron, it will rust over time. A plastic one would be better.
Thank you for posting this! I enjoyed your other video for the Excursion Pro. I have an Intex K2 Explorer that I want to do something like this to. Have you ever thought about do a mod for the Explorer? Maybe another fun project for you....
Yea! Maybe in the future. Thanks for liking the video! 👍
Awesome and makes kayak look so cool great skills what is your day job plumber maybe
Thanks!👍
Excellent. 👍
Thanks!
What all did you need to do this setup. Pipe and fittings How much pipe and what fittings.
In your video 4 years ago you had some arms coming off it with floaties on it giving you more stability in the water, I would have liked to see you make that
i thought about showing it but i decided not to because when i used it, there was too much weight added onto the kayak. it did stabilize the kayak better but it was harder to paddle because of the added weight. Sorry!
Great set up, but loose the hammer when gluing the pvc pipe together. The glue sets fast and your weakening the bond by hammering it. Just coat both pieces of pvc and push together while twisting one piece a half turn. You'll end up with a much better joint connection.
Thanks! Good to know.
Ok mr plumber of the year

I'm impressed not one spelling error in that entire sentence. I did however see a grammer capitalization mistake, but don't be too hard on yourself. That's not normally taught until you reach the fifth or sixth grade, so you'll start running into it in another year, as long as they don't hold you back again
@@briane3050 Seriously...who busts people's chops on this kind of a channel. You had good advice.
That was awesome brother
Thanks!👍
Great ! Your fishing kayak
Thanks!👍
All u had to do was get a milkcrate some rodholders on amazon and velcro straps.. strap holders to crate and velcro crate to a mesh on the back 9f kayak
Baller shit for less than 30 dollars gives u two rodholders on back and one on each side 1 for net and one for unhookin fish
Nice Job!!!!!! What size is the Tee fitting, 4 way fitting and End Cap?
Thr Tee fitting and end caps are 4". Thanks for liking the video!
@@edkonvang Tks for your reply! But I don't understand. The PVC pipe is 1", how come the tee fitting and caps are 4"?
You are a genius!!!
Thank you!
You need to modify the backrest. I have the K2. Seats are garbage. K2 more room
Quote of the day it came all the way from Amazon
Very creative dude! #HellYer
Thanks!
Hilarious.... it came all the way..... from..... AMAZON!
Well done!!!!!
Thanks!👍
I try to modify Challenger Cunue but success is not good. I arrive at water where sharks live and the big Great Whites not eat so they attack my Challenger. It’s result is a big hole and paddle faster to the shore.
That’s pretty scared!
Это пока что лучшее изобретение которое я видел установленное на этот каяк 😂
amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks!

I need only coffee holder in k1
now you can fit a coffeemachine the rack
Nice Dude..
I just finish doing it for my intex with 2 mods and it fits perfectly.
Can I link your video in my channel? I will give you the credits I just want to show some best practices the small mods that I did but mention that I followed your tutorial.
Sure! Thanks for sharing my video!
@@edkonvang sure.. you too! 👍🏻
Done!

I know the weight on that k1 is rated 210 lbs, I wonder if it helps with weight displacement.
Not sure.
How is the other Intex doing? Are you still using it?
Yes, it's still good for me. I just took it out fishing this past week.
Genius
can I buy a aftermarket skeg to fit in?
Yes, you can as long it says intex challengers k1, k2, explorer inflatable kayak.
Nice add-ons. Just a couple of things. I don't mean to slam you but please, usr the proper items and tools for what you're using it for. 1) You shouldn't have to hammer the pipe into the fitting, actually you shouldn't. Take a piece of sandpaper and sand the fittings and pipe BEFORE you glue it. Plus the sanding cleans the PVC for gluing. 2) Please use a knife to clean off the PVC edges. The way you did it destroys hacksaw blades. 3) May I suggest just using a PVC end cap for your cup holder? It's a lot cheaper. 4) There are 3/4" & 1" reducers to 1/2" PVC. Also, there are screw-on irrigation PVC fitting that you can use for your risers. They are right next to your elbows you got. 5) You have a Dremel. So many of the rough edges and break off's you did could be done with the Dremel. Lastly, it's not a "grinder gun", it's a Dremel! Ha ha ha. Great mods though!
Thanks for the info
Why don’t you by the K2 is bigger and better?
I bought this one because some of my subscribers wanted a tutorial on how i built the storage modifications, but you're right the K2 is bigger.
The K1 is better for solo paddling, the seat is in the right place. In the K2 neither seat is ideal for paddling alone.
Reaching behind you got to be a pain in the butt.
Can u make me one and i buy it from u cause i suck and dont want to mess up
С велосипеде Украина мог снять багажник, прикрутить саморезом к каяку и готово)))
Like 👍👉🙏🔔👍❤
I like the build but you are definitely skipping steps and giving some wrong measurements. Good build on your part. Kudos
Sorry about that...there was a lot of steps to explain and it was hard to stitch everything together. i tried my best to give everyone the ideas for the project.
How much to make me one and send it to me?
Let me think about it. I have to check the shipping rates and the cost of the materials first.
I would buy one from you too
I see a lot of swimming in this guys future and not so many stable casts. I like the heart that you put into it. Good luck!
Why is that?
