If you get serious about a motor, I have a 30# Minn kota I used with my yak. Its a tiller.  Send me a PM if interested.

I built a little board thing to mount my cheap fish finder on and im going to glue a few 2" tall Gatorade bottles on it this week to use as a cup holder and for my Bluetooth speaker. Its been great and a game changer for me! May upgrade to a trolling motor soon as I have permanent back issues and the sitting and paddling is pretty hard after about 2 hrs. I also siliconed 4 of the scuddle holes off or whatever theyre called, I left 2 in the back and 2 by my feet open to drain excess water and plan on the milk crate as my fish holder for the slime to run down and out

I'll have to look into a better seat, with my back problems after about 2 hrs I gotta get out and move a little

(04-25-2021, 07:20 PM)Fritzfishin  Those are some sweet mods.  I got a kayak for fishing a couple of years ago and still haven\t modified it.  Seeing your pics gives me some motivation.
