Fantastic video man. It's cool to see how your setup is evolving. It's also obvious from your voice that you have been having a lot of fun with this rig. Lots of fun to watch - One of my favorite videos so far!

Nate D yes I do love it and thank you for such great ideas man, the only problem I have is not being able to get it out on the water near enough lol

I found some collapsable window shades at dollar store 4 bucks gives you 2 pcs @ 27.7"×30.5". One fits perfect no tie downs from under back of seat and cage . The other goes under front of seat and just before where you rest your feet on bars. Use the seat mesh provided to cover seam of both. Friction fit on both. Durable material and is water proof. Collapses into 10"diameter ring when not in use. When not in use i use a shower curtain ring to fasten to cage. Try it it works great. I use 2 gumby straps to keep back one above water by crossing them over underneath. Resting shade ontop . Called "front twist shade" made by PROAUTO. Works dandy try it..

Good job! I always have trouble with my oars moving around and getting in the way while I fish. It looks like you’ve made a brace to hold them in place. How did you make it? I’m guessing it has something that goes through the oar lock hole on the rear side. Is that correct?

The wheel mod is a must! I'm a small dude and trying to get that thing to the water loaded up with a battery and motor was unruly as heck

Yeah, it's a bitch, I'm actually thinking of making it wider too.

Do you ever wish you'd put the trolling motor in the back? I'm just thinking my fly line, would get to tangled? Nice set up

Great Video, how & where do you stow the wheels while fishing?

Lol I have the single wheel on my fish cat and thinking of doing a setup like this cause I have nerve damage in my hands and anything that can make it easier the better. Right now my longest walk to one of my fishing ponds is about one and a half miles. Super long walk with this thing so I try to carry everything that I can in my pack. And keep the toon as light as possible. It's honestly not THAT bad. But I think a two wheel setup will help a lot. The only issue I can think of is right now I just take my wheel off and bungee it to the back of my pontoon and it stays there perfectly out if the way while I fish. With the two wheel setup I'm sure I would have to leave it on the bank and hide it in some bushes or something to keep those sticky finger people off it. So I'm torn right now.

Info on wheels? Mine does not have Square to slide in to?

Great videos Ramon Olivas. I love this video and the previous one. How's your fishing trip so far? How good is the fish finder? I really interested in the idea of connecting the motor and be able to take it off whenever you want. Could you please tell me where you get the electrical connection outlet? Many thanks.

It's not worth a video since all I did was purchased a piece of rod that fits perfectly into the wheel hubs then drilled two holes at the ends so the r-pins can go in and keep the wheels in place. Too simple and since I didn't want to use different tires I just got matching ones at Harbor Freight instead

@@titanpredatorwolf7653 So....Thank you guys on youube for ideas on mods. This is what I did. I made landing gear from an old hand golf cart. the wheels retract and extend with a lever at the front....this works great. The unit fits perfect. Wheels are quick detach....unit is VERY light..lighter than the single wheel assm. you get with the XT. Bolts right to the same attachment points. I wish I could post pics.

How do I attached the wheel to pantoon or what do I need

how to bring in the fish with that trolling motor in front of you

Hey bud. on the wheel mod, can you maybe email a pic of the side of the wheel and show how you have it connected to the rod? I found a rod but I don't know how you have the wheel attached to it

@titanpredatorwolf7653

TightLineAdventures I drilled a tiny hole close to the end so I could stick an R-pin in them and hold the wheels in, I also used the same 1" black poly pipe to keep them in place. Just make sure you take it off when in the water as it makes a lot of noise as you're moving through the water with the poly line rattling on the metal rod.

Are you able to stow the modified wheel assembly in the original way? Or do you have another trick for when you're in the water?

kzread.info/dash/bejne/qaqErq2gk7jKhrA.html Here is a link for a standing platform. He has great ideas as well. I have been going back and fourth on if I want my motor out front or not. I think with a higher seat it would work just fine. But with the right amount of air I have noticed even with the weight in the back. It doesn't sag at all. Love your ideas and set up for the fish finder. I need a good cold rainy day. I have spent money I don't have already wanting to do modifications to mine. Thanks for the video. Boat looks great man. Also on that note. I was thinking of finding some marine wiring that has a plug on each end to wire through the frame so it's out of the way and not a potential hazard if the boat does tip over. But after the white caps I was in on this past Friday. I don't see that happening. Tipping over at least lol.
