Can you do a video utilizing the rear seat? I would love to see how stable it is on the water before I purchase one. With the second person how much power reduction do you experience with your kayak now? I’m sure it affects speed and battery life. Love the idea of the second seat.

Real nice . Mine is not as nice , but nice enough. I put a trolling motor on my kayak about 3 years ago . I wish I had put it on in 2016 when I bought my lure . I use the trolling motor a lot , especially after adding the downrigger . I thought about peddle drive , but I have had bad knees and hips forever .

Really sweet! I like that downrigger mounting plate. I have never seen that before and it really looks solid. I have never tried a down rigger before because I did not want to deal with something that was difficult to get off and on and perhaps stressful on the Hobie tracks. That little v-lock mount is great since it really takes up no room if you don't have the downrigger attached. You have me thinking about it now!

One of these is going to be in the very near future. I have a question about he puck. How necessary is it? Are you able to move over the 5 feet increments without it? Primary use will be lake trout here in the PNW, not sure just how much electronics I'll really need. I have a bigger boat fully equipped with very recent electronics so I have a basic to intermediate understanding of chartplotters. Just what does the puck allow you to do that can't be done otherwise? Is it necessary in order to use a chartplotter? I imagine you're using your chartplotter for waypoints, where I plan to use this kayak is primarily high mountain lakes and maybe Willamette and possibly a sturgeon slay ride. Only time I really depend on waypoints is in open water and I don't plan to take this into the open water. I use a phone app for waypoints when I'm on other peoples boats, Boating by Navionics, very useful. Enjoy the vids, thanks.

Did you run into any issues on the port side with the cables for the rudder? Anything that you had to account for when installing those that may be helpful to others wanting to add the rear facing rod holders as well?
