That’s a sweet tandem kayak. I love kayak fishing and began fishing with my brother in a canoe. When my father was not fishing with us I would take his hobie Outback kayak out on the water. After moving for college and graduating college. I came back to the kayak fishing game. I spent the extra money and purchased a hobie compass kayak and couldn’t have been more impressed. Being able to fish hands free and stand without worry is a huge pro to my hobie compass. Check it out when you get a chance! Keep up the great fishing videos!
Take the straps and adjust the seat and material tighter then you normally like. Fold up the excess strap end make a tidy bundle just under the buckle. Use electrical tape to bundle all the strap excess up snug to the bucke. Or you can use a heavy duty zip tie. You will find that the seat will streatch and conform with some time to your comfort zone.
Nice review. I bought the VanHunks Sauger 12 ft tandem kayak and a pedal drive for it. Taking it out first time tomorrow. The sauger has exact same seats as yours so Im sure I'll run into same issue with the seat straps. I was thinking maybe use a safety pin or something to keep them from loosening.
It’s sad we have to start FIXING manufacturing issues. It’s so sad because how much more would a nice/wide Chinese made strap cost. I’m really liking the Vanhunks features so hope to get something soon, thanks
I have the same kayak. When you contacted vanhunks did they say when a trolling motor attachment would be avaiable for the kayak by chance? I love the kayak
They said you can get then off amazon. They don't have their own branded one. It's made for universal mounts. I looked.. There's a nice one on amazon for $60.00.
@@kevinedmondson5330 they just said any universal mount. This is the one I was looking at www.amazon.com/Roeam-Stainless-Steel-Trolling-Hardware/dp/B08HQZ83MX/ref=mp_s_a_1_16?dchild=1&keywords=kayak+trolling+motor+mount&qid=1625099386&sprefix=kayak+troll&sr=8-16
thanks for the descriptive video and info. I got motion sick from this video though!

Awesome.. Those are nice.. It can be a pain when "Free Floating" to have to adjust with the paddle
.
Double back seat straps thru themselves after you tighten to desired positions
I used zip ties on the botton..

Done and done. Someone made that suggestion a few months back and did help for a while. Thanks for the idea though.

Let me know if you post a video I'll check it out.

I just bought this kayak does it tip easily?
Why complain about Tilapia, people pay big bucks for them, lol. Aren’t they a good eating fish?
They are. But I Ross my fish back.. so I'd rather have a big bass.
I hear ya, I’m going to keep some fish again soon as well. Good excuse to go have fun, then bring home some “free food”, lol
