[quote Fishtales23]Sweet! Nice job, Joni.
How long are your new oars?
I thought you had a rear deck on your Renegade?
Not sure how you attached the aluminum "stick" to the cam strap. I can't see through to the other side [
] Does the backside rub against the boat?
I took my Escape out Saturday and fished in a Crappie tournament. I also have the LiteSpeed oars, must have rowed 6 miles. It's a big lake and when the wind comes up, well, let's put it this way, I had to row constantly against the wind and current to get back to my launch point. If I stopped rowing I'd lose ground.
I didn't realize how much I needed the exercise. I felt terrific since I woke up Sunday morning. Love my boat!
I would think you could put your FF head on another glued-on Scotty like you've installed fore and aft.
If I remember, I think you said you have a trailer you use for the Scaddens?
I used to put my 15 ft long kayak on Yakima bars on my VW beetle. Thinking about doing it again with my Scadden. I know what you mean by a small car and the lack of usable space, a boat takes up all the room. I'm surprised there's room for Baxster [

I was using a deck. Pretty cool too cause the rod holders and the transducer were all mounted to it, BUT it is like 4' by 18" and takes up a lot of room in my Vitara, what with fins, waders, boat...etc.
The Oars are 6'6". I like the sling shot effect when rowing because they flex.
The problem with the Scotty mount for the Screen is, where do you put it out of the way of the oars. I could mount another glue on in the same spot, opposite side, but then I have to have a 45° mount for the Scotty to the screen and not sure there is one. I am not done playing with that, but in the bag it is out of the way of everything, and when done, I fold it down and zip it up.
We have a trailer and have used it, but it was designed more for a bigger boat (our 11'6" Cardiacs) It works just fine with our X5's at 10'6", but the Renegades fit okay, but the top one slides because of the way it sits on risers. The front rockers are on the front riser, not the full toon.
And there is ALWAYS room for "B" dog....because it is his boat, he just lets me use it...LOL
