Hey Grit,

When your fishing from your kayak, what do you do for a rod holder? I've been pondering this for a while and have thought of maybe bungee-ing something with the same profile as the deck with a rod holder attached, in place just ahead of the cockpit, does this sound like a workable plan? That way it could be removed and stowed when not in use.

Thanks,

Ken

: Hey ONeil,
: I built a Queen Charlotte XL and have been stoked on its speed and the way
: you can lay it on its sides to carve turns.I used 4 oz cloth,3/4 inch
: thick end pours,exposed weave on inside bottom,composite skeg box,no glass
: on the deck,foam bulkheads which kept the weight at 39 lbs.I am a big boy
: too,but found this yak to be just right for Florida off shore fishing and
: cruising!
: my two cents! ! Good luck ONeil
