I was just gifted an oooooold Pelican Castaway kayak. All of the straps were dry rotted out and there were parts missing and weird random drill holes. I made it a project! I filled the holes, replaced all of the broken J-hooks, installed an anchor trolley, put in taco clip paddle holder, and got a new elastic strap for over the back well. My proudest renovation was finding nylon dog collars with plastic snap clips for $5 each. I cut the straps to size, and riveted them in to replace the old rotten straps that went over the front hatch cover. They fit perfectly, work well, and look great! I can't afford a new kayak right now, so renovating this old one got me on the water and gave that old boat new life! Thanks for your video. Not only am I glad to see you resurrecting old kayaks, but the plastic melting trick I hadn't thought of. Nicely done. Good tip!

shoe goo is the same as marine goo. It is very good but costs less. Just thought you might want to know. Thanks for making all the great videos! Love seeing these rigging and refitting videos!

Great tip 👍🏼

I like it. If you own a kayak you will eventually do some repairs. Very helpful. I never thought of using zip ties. I once used a lid to a heavy duty wet wipes bucket and it worked great. I have also found that JB Weld works even better. Thanks.

Absolutely love you bringing new life to these older boats! Well done!

Look at that! Now if only I could fish like you...

U are a jack of both trades sir!

The old kayak fixup videos are great. Help some folks get started kayak fishing without taking out a loan.

Love the paddle keeper idea! I have one kayak right now that I always struggle getting the blade under the rigging. Thanks for the tip.

Thank you Ty. I have two older kayaks that are in need of repairs. Your video gave me some ideas that will help.

Christopher Moltisanti good to see that Tony didn’t really wack ya and you simply moved down to Rockport. Really like the kayak restoration vids. Keep up the good work. Thanks.

Hey great to see....the thing about the old boats is that a lot of them like that one do not weigh so much....easy to load on a car ...pull across the beach etc....great video ..thank you

BRING EM BACK TO LIFE💪

Great video! Enjoy the tips and tricks.

I can see that kayak with a redfish flopping in the cockpit.

Cool stuff. I love bringing old stuff back to life.

Keep'em co.ing, Ty! I love the restoration videos that you do. I wish I could find some old kayaks to fix up there in Missouri. Would make a great hobby.

Phil, Put an ad on Craigslist and or market place saying you'll go pick up broken, unwanted, unused kayaks... I did that and now I have 12 in my inventory from little kid kayaks all the way up to sea touring kayaks worth thousands for pennies on the dollar. I bought a $1400 HOBIE Kona for $150! Restored it and I'm selling it for $900 OBO. Bought an $1800 Hurricane Phoenix 160 Sea kayak for $250... Repaired it in one day.

Im leaning to a Carolina skiff or a Mako 16 or 17ft.

I know some shark fishermen that would love to get their hands on that! I like all the old stuff from reels to baits

It encourages me to fix my own kayak. Thanks.

Keep em coming. Love the fix it up videos!

Like all ypur videos. More of these how to videos would be cool.

i'd like to see the finished product....how the sanding made the plastic-filler look. i don't know what it is, but i enjoy videos like this.

Oh man Ty i found this great stuff it will adhere to even that ram-x stuff. Try it man you gonna love it. West System 655-8 G/flex Epoxy Adhesive

I enjoyed the video.

TY TY TY.... You fix plastic with plastic... Don't goop up your kayaks with silicone. Look for tossed out little tykes toys. They come in all colors and are made of the same plastic as kayaks... Just cut off chunks and use a wood burning kit or soldering iron to patch the holes. Check out a couple of my restoration videos. It's really easy once you start repairing kayaks

I actually PREFER the rigging videos! Gives me ideas.
