My Perception Tribe 13.5 (pic heavy)

When I first thought about buying a kayak I never expected the addiction to go as far as I did. I figured we would enjoy a relaxing paddle on the lake now and then, not target game fish in the ocean. Well that was months ago and now with a little bit of coin, some research, and some hard work we now have a tandem fishing machine.


Here are some photos of our kayak....

I built and installed everything myself from the rod holders to the bait tank (idea from KFS.com). I think I enjoyed rigging the boat just as much as I do fishing from it.

Thank guys for all your input and support!

that is the BOMB. make sure she does some paddling. looks massively stabble and it will keep you dry. no better time on the water, than with your girl.

Yep, you are now officially an addict. I have lots of fun customizing my yaks myself. Nice job on the rigging.

Hell with a garage that big. . .

You can have a kayak for each day of the week.

Your Kayak has come a long way.

Good luck out there and we'll see you on the water.

pretty sweet.

one thing. looks like our leashes are made of phone cord and zip ties.. will be ok if you flip but if you have a fish on or at the side, then it takes off and the rod goes too... well... i'd get some crimps.

See thru hatch

Hi. I just bought the non-angler version of this one and I see you got a see thru hatch on the front. This it came with it or did you install it? Thanks. I was wondering where could I get a see thru hatch like that.
