Viking Profish 400 Make over 2021.

Mick bought a Viking 400 and got the parts, I went over to meet him and help him set it up from scratch...
Some parts needed replacing and or fixing before we could move on.
I show parts during the make over and also show you the before and after the make over .
What a transformation Mick is very Happy waiting for wether to improve to get the beast out on the water.

Nice thanks for sharing, love the fish finder cover

They really do protect the units as a whole

Great video. Am interested in the new Profish 400, how do you rate them in terms of general purpose kayak re speed, tracking and the like?

[@hamandtysfishingadventures9685]

The profish 400 is fast depending on fitness , I could keep up with reloads.
Not much storage on the 400 so just need to plan what style your fishing on the day and take what you need.
They track well with the rudder system, deff get the rudder system it's a game changer with the tackle pod, makes huge difference.
I had both the 400 and reload and to be honest the reload I'd a bit dryer ride but I found the 400 more stable and a better quality kayak for the money.

@@hamandtysfishingadventures9685 Great info thanks! I heard the business was sold after the fire so hopefully the quality of the kayaks will be the same!

[@hamandtysfishingadventures9685]

Not sold at all they are still making the same , they restarted the business. Same people

@@hamandtysfishingadventures9685 Okay that's good to hear! I was told that Galloway are involved and distributing their kayaks to Australia..

[@hamandtysfishingadventures9685]

Maybe so but all made in new zealand

[@whittakertable]

Would you use silicone on those screws and bolts etc so as to not have leaks?

[@hamandtysfishingadventures9685]

Nah maye self tapping screws theear fills up with plastic. The water going in is minimal

[@oOOShaunOOo]

What are your thoughts on the longer rudder system?

[@hamandtysfishingadventures9685]

Dont need one on the viking unless you get the Bixby motor as going bit faster a longer rudder would dig in more for better turning but paddling these rudders work fine
