My new pro angler 12. Tons of room super stable and doesn't move like a barge, moves pretty good on the water.

Here is my 135. The pics of the boat itself are pretty simple. 3 rod holders(2 flush mount, 1 scotty), Lowrance elite 4 w/ transducer mounted on keel, and anchor trolley on left. The crate is my favorite part. Used flourescent light protecter tubes cut down and attached along sides with foam zip tied on the crate edges. This has worked out well to keep lures full of trebbels at the ready without getting tangled or creating a hazard to me! Stole the foam idea from Nay Sayer. boat.jpgcamera.jpgcrate1.jpgcrate2.jpgcrate3.jpg

MOHAWK how did you mount your transducer? Is it a shoot thru hull typr?

I used the supplied bracket and SS screws. I drilled a hole oppisite the drain plug then used a rubber grommet and silicone to seal up around the wires. I did the same up front for the wiring to the head unit so that way all my wiring is inside the kayak. I used a nylock wingnut on the bracket bolt so I can flip the transducer up out of the way in the shallows or during transport. I was a bit paranoid about the bracket screws being below the water line so I used expanding foam on the inside as a precaution. To do that easy I put a piece of rubber tubing (approx 8")over the nozzle tube and inserted it through the driain plug hole. A bright spot light on the opposited side of the kayak provided a nice shaddow on the inside to see where the foam was expanding to. If you save the pic and expand it you can kinda see it in this pic.cart.jpg
The best time spent is time that doesn't feel like it was spent at all. When it's worth it you'll give everything to do it all over again no matter what the cost.
I keep my gear to a minimum. All tackle that I need I store within a ziplock bag (and the hobie gear container), which I keep in the center hatch area in front of my seat.
Pretty much stock except for the gear. The 10" round hatch has a removable bucket with enough room underneath to store a couple Plano 3600 boxes. IMG-20130618-00005.jpgIMG-20130618-00006.jpg
