  I realize this video is 4+ years old, but wondering if you still have this pontoon boat??? If you do, would you measure all the pieces of the fork for the wheel. I know the curved square is 1" square, but I need the length, and the length of the two flat bars. Also the distance from the ends to the bends. Classic Accessories has discontinued all of their watercraft sales and parts. Thank you. Love the ingenuity you have used in setting yours up...

  So, just my two cents. I did my own modifications and added a seat swivel with a 11.34-17.24 inches pedestal. THAT was much too high and while attempting to row with my seat right in the middle of my boat, it was almost impossible. When I got back to the shore, I moved the seat all the way back and the oar mounts all the way forward. At that point I could row better but it was still not easy. SO, my point is while this 7" pedestal might work, stay away from something like what I installed unless you don't use oars much.

  I'm losing my mind. Just installing the swivel w/o the pedestal (for now). What type of screws/bolts did you use to attached the swivel to the seat bottom? Looks like there are some spacers in there too. Any info would helpful. I'm hardware challenged. Yours may have come with the swivel already attached. Mine is the base Colorado model. So it might be a problem in that however it is attached was already done for you.

  I bought a swivel seat base and then went to a hardware store to find the right set of stainless fasteners. I think I even brought the whole base in to make sure everything fit lol I was lucky to live near a smaller hardware store with a really nice fastener selection. But I still always bring in whatever I am sizing fasteners for into the store so I don't mess anything up!

  Question for you. I have a Colorado XT that I'll be using on a slow moving river. The river's current can be up to 5 mph. How fast does your 30 lb thrust motor move your inflatable? Trying to get an idea if 30 lbs is enough for my needs. Tnx

• 
  @FishandForage2 ай бұрын

  It would not move it fast enough to go against 5mph current, but it would definitely help maneuver through it, if it's deep enough. The other problem is the pontoon gets pretty squirrely when moving quick, so if you did get a motor big enough, it'd be a challenge to keep it pointed upriver while also fighting the current!

  My apologies up front. I'm not good at this stuff but I'm trying. I have the exact same challenge in front of me. I have a 7" pedestal and a swivel. I understand the 2 sets of the original hardware to attach the swivel to the pedestal and the pedestal to the frame. The step I'm missing is what specific hardware did you use to attach the swivel to the seat bottom?

• 
  @FishandForage2 ай бұрын

  I had a pretty nice hardware store nearby with a huge fastener section - I brought in the plates I needed to connect and found stainless steel bolts, nuts, and washers that would fit between them. I wouldn't use anything but stainless, since everything's gonna get wet on the water and I didn't want to deal with rust or corrosion!

  So when would I want to switch from vertical floating like your video here, to “bobber-dogging” the float? I’m trying to figure this out as I’m fairly new to steelhead fishing and have been using a pencil weight like bobber dogging technique, but my float stays vertical which that’s what I thought I wanted, but dogging I realize my float should be getting dragged, when do I switch ?

• 
  @FishandForage6 ай бұрын

  There's some nuance, but my understanding is that with bobber doggin, you generally want the bait to be dragging or bouncing off the bottom the whole time, where with standard drift fishing, you are setting the bait to drift through the run at a specific depth, not necessarily always along the bottom. I think a lot of folks will interchange the terms, so you may hear different opinions :)
