I like everything but the seat. It's a little high for my taste especially in rough water. Great job customizing your Unlimited. The light panel is dope! Just subbed!
Thanks man! I don’t sit down if I’m fishing and I’ve been in some rough water and I can’t feel a difference from original seat to new seat in 1-2’ waves or high winds.
Thanks for the video. Can you tell me what your total seat height is with the 7” pedestal? Stock height I believe is 12” from deck but yours looks like maybe 16”? Thanks.
It’s crazy, every one of these fishing kayak setups I see. It looks like 50 lbs of crap in a 1 lb bag. Or Beverly hillbillies gone water world. I want to try one, but damn they look like a cluster &*)’.
I currently use Anderson connectors and when I charge my battery I have one directly to my charger and was thinking of switching to the connectors you are using in my next build hoping to do the same. My only worry is the posts being exposed vs the Anderson which are a bit more protected.
@@robwelch001nothing would be exposed. The posts slide into the female receptacle and nothing metal will be exposed. I’ve got alligator clips on my charger so I just hook them to the normal battery posts. I would have to buy another female plug to use the plugs to charge.
AT2 with HDS pro is as good as the ultra and ls34 from the guys I know that have had both. Both preferring the AT2 because of the better 2D, side image and mapping.
Trollingmotorparts.com for MK endura shaft and transom bracket. In the video I used the bullnose rudder which you can find on google but actually just made a new one with a 6x9” 1/2” cutting board from Amazon. For the new one it was 58$ total.
@@Nategoodwinfishing just got all my part and got it put together. How are you able to use your pull cord to pull it up when you have to compress the spring?
@@AuburnManI drill a hole in the level and put the pull cord through that and around the shaft so when you pull it the shaft folds up. I’ve never had to pull it up but I add it for just in case.
I guess that depends on what your river is like. I don’t plan on paddling or dragging my kayak around ever. I can get in 12” of water with the bow mount down. Slap a rear mount motor and it’s a river kayak. I’m not big on rivers.
When I made this rudder for jon boats 12 or so years ago it worked perfectly. When I had my pursuit in 2020 nucanoe didn’t have a rudder so I built the one you see. Now that they have one I don’t see a purpose of buying one when this one works exactly what I want. Last I checked it was 375$ I’ll stick to my 70$ fixed position rudder/skeg.
Bit too crowded? lol I’ve got 3ft+ of deck space to walk up and down the deck. I can dance on this thing. There’s more open deck space then a predator big water 🤷🏻
41” long and 21” wide of flat deck space to walk around in. They equals almost 6 sq ft of wide open area to be in. How much does your kayak have fully rigged?

Looks good , I see there coming out with the Unlimited 10 sometime in february
Thanks man. I saw that! Looks perfect for the throw and go guy.
@@Nategoodwinfishing I had the Frontier 10 for 5yrs , great yak but eventually got into a pedal yak and let the f10 go..lol
Sweet boat. I really want an Unlimited. Been trying to sell my Native slayer max but no bites.
Thanks man! I love it. Good luck
That thing is pimped out man ive been meaning to put some new nav lights on mine instead of the cheapo clip-on bike lights lol
Thanks dood! Ya it’s really nice having em. I did the same thing for awhile.

Thanks.
I believe it’s 18-19”
Where did you get that strut for the Blackpack? Great idea!!
Amazon! I used a small size. It’s less than 20$ for 2.
@@Nategoodwinfishing Thanks!

Out of curiosity how are you charging your lithium battery in the box with the Marinco receptacles?
I open the battery box and plug my battery charger into the terminals? Just like any other battery and charger.
You could also wire up the battery charger with a female receptacle and plug it in that way.
I currently use Anderson connectors and when I charge my battery I have one directly to my charger and was thinking of switching to the connectors you are using in my next build hoping to do the same. My only worry is the posts being exposed vs the Anderson which are a bit more protected.

FFS a garmin is the best. I'm thinking next year going to 12" bird with 360. I will keep my 10" garmin for livescope.

How many amps does your tm pull? My minn kota only pulls 37amps on full power
@@gt_fishing52amps for the 55lb and 38amps for the 45lb
@@Nategoodwinfishing that's crazy that it pulls so much more. I wonder why that is?
@@gt_fishingcuz it’s super fast lol
Do you have links to all the parts you used to make your sceg?

Best kayak for lakes ?? Or worst kayak for skinny river ??

You know nucanoe makes a rudder for this kayak to be used as a skeg different from the foot pedal rudder.
When I made this rudder for jon boats 12 or so years ago it worked perfectly. When I had my pursuit in 2020 nucanoe didn’t have a rudder so I built the one you see.

$1799 for a kayak with nothing. Added on a bunch a accessories and you looking at $3000
I bought mine used for 1300$
But you can fish with the 1700 kayak and add the rest of the stuff as you are able.
I like my Old Towne Predator better... think he's gotta bit to much stuff in his Yak, looks crowded to me.
