For my fish finder I Made a holder for my FC4 float tube. I just added a couple of straps and put it on the Sportsman's 9 AKA FC9.
I kind of like this design because I can use it on both the float tube and pontoon. It is a stand alone unit that I can put on about anything. I am adding pictures of it on both the rides. And no it is not in the way when I use the oars.
I like my rod holders and where they are. Some might not but for me they are great for trolling or just kicking around. I fish with two rods and I can put both rods in the holders and keep and eye on both. I have them cut so the rod slides in and lock in place. To take them out I turn the rod a quarter turn and they slide out.
I carry a series 27 battery in a box on the back. I also keep a small cooler on there for bait and drinks. The motor is a 45 pound thrust minn kota.
This ride is heavy. I do NOT carry this boat even empty. I back up to the water with my trailer and slide it off. After it is down then I add the other gear. It takes a few minutes to do but I don't like all the stuff on the boat when it all the time. Stuff would disappear quick in the drive way at my house.
If I want to pick up and change places I don't strip it. I just take off the heavy stuff and put the boat on the very back of the trailer.
One of the neat things about tubes or toons is a person can pimp them out the way THEY want. You can get ideas from others and make something or change a design and try that. Check out a lot of pictures and as questions. Good luck. I about forgot you can see the oar cam in the first picture. Ron
