    Elevating the stadium seat in my sit in kayak. Seems my legs straight out don't last long before hurting. I removed the padded seat, using the same holes I mounted half inch pvc in a V angle. Cut a piece of 1/4" plywood that fits where the pad was and screwed it to the pvc. Gives me 1" lift, hope it helps. I'll remove the plywood, give it a good sanding today. Mix Hunter Green paint and linseed oil for the first coat, maybe 2 to make it water resistance then a couple of coats of the paint. If the 1/2" pvc isn't high enough I've got lots of thicker pieces.
    Trolling motor was delivered today. Collecting aluminum stock for the transom. Will start after Christmas.

    I have an ender 3 s1 pro that I'm kind of working on a little invention. Plus you can make your own slip bobbers.

    Must see pictures! Sounds like it’s about to come together.

    Very intrigued. Don’t know if I can wait to hear this one.

    Got my multipurpose pole finished today to be used in the kayak. Everything wired. Ready to water test tomorrow. Supposed to be in the mid-upper 60’s

    Success!
    Awesome setup. Will definitely change my kayak fishing. Pretty windy. Will need small anchor, spot lock on big boat has me spoiled. 7-greenfish, no crappie.

    Congrats. Glad it worked out good for you. I think my next kayak will be the Hobie 360 for that very reason.

    For an anchor I use a 1 lb lead ingot with a hole drilled thru one end. Lite cord, 15 to 20# trotline cord is what I use. It holds most of the time. Can add a 2nd or more when needed. Been using them since 2013 and haven't lost one yet.

    Thanks canebreaker. Do you use an anchor trolly on the side or just tie off and drop?
