- So I got this new Bonafide SS127 and I decided to completely rig it with all the accessories. So I took it down to Westbrook Supply Co. in Atlanta and had Fletch help me out.

Friends to help you Gene? It looks like he did all the work :D
Cant wait to see the finished product. I am hoping for a full walkthrough. I'm getting my ss127 soon as well and cant wait to mod mine out on video either.
I love kayaking Guntersville Lake - awesome video!
Man i gotta say this is very awesome, honestly i liked this so much that I'm doing the same to my riot mako 10. It won't be as uniform as yours, but I will definitely be uploading videos of the process/progress.
Looks like so much fun. I hope I can do that to my kayak one day.
Awesome rig. I agree, red is the best color for topside lights so you don’t attract bugs.
At 4:30 or so in the video...good call on flipping that flap to the outside. :)
I'm loving this rigging so far.
Is there any in depth videos on how Fletch rigged that dry pod? I’d love to do that myself
I think we all have friends like this. Ask you for help and then find lots of other things to do rather than help out, leaving you to do all the work. Later you'll hear them say how 'we' or 'they' added this or modded that.
Lol that's called knowing your strengths! Sometimes that strength is starting out of the way 😆
Could you do a how to vid for the new way you put the fish finder in your dry box
This reminds me of that one photo on the net of the AR with every attachment, to much but looks cool haha
I want more of those videos!
Fluke when are some RS117 vids gonna go up? You know us broke boys can’t afford the 127 😂
Well done!
For the side mounted LED - what about fabbing a hood to run over the top to keep those lights from hitting your eyes?
but why if you can just set them so they just don't hit your eyes and save from doing more work.
The hood could keep the light out of your eyes no matter where you were in the boat. If your sitting the lights are low enough to not see them. But what if you stand up to do something now your perspective has changed and they ruin your night vision.
Can you post a link for the LED's you installed on the inside please? Thank you in advance
What kind of lights are these?
Cant wait to get a bonafide kayak to go fishing with...saving $$$
Awesome job
ok gene, so what part of Louisiana you going to. south or north(caddo)? i live where Greg Hackney lives, still never seen him or got to meet him and i know where he lives.
Where did you buy all accessories for this build
Awesome video. Can i ask you if it is a good idea to buy a 2 man fishing ski/kayak for me and my 24 year old son?
So my inner trucker digs the lighting but after time how have they held up? Leaks?
Love the set up man I wish more video like this were around I could watch this all day lol
Nice build. Can you drop a link for the green lights?
Part line or parting line. Where the 2 halves of the mold come together.
What is the hook you have for your seat not to blow off? I always take my seat off and throw it in my truck as I am afraid it will blow out! If I had piece of mind, I would love to leave it!
would like to know where you purchased the lighting and accessories for the kayak
I love what you did to your kayak would it be possible for you to send me a list of the parts you used and the name of the small batteries he was going to use and I wish to do a similar thing to my kayak please keep making great videos
Is Fletch going to do a video about his livewell?
How much does something like this run?
Man I love the video I want to light up my shearwater 125 just like you have done yours in this video but I’m like you said i don’t know what I’m doing how much would he charge to do mine and where is he located I am having trouble finding someone to do mine. Please help
bonafide should have hit the market with a pedal drive already in their lineup ... no telling when they release one.
Yak-power is the way to go!!!
How do I leave a comment in the description?
I broke mi rod inside the pipe. Are the reels safe inside the pipe.? Is a dc shimano safe to be trasport inside the pioe?
Just started rigging my AP 120 out. I have a question. Do you recommend a designated battery for the electronics and one for your motor? I have a 100 amp battery. Thanking you in advance.
what are those little green lights by the feet I like thos want some
Do you have a supply list of the components you used
The side-mounted green lights used to attract fish...do those lights conform to (or conflict with) the USCG red/green navigation lighting requirements? In other words, if the green lights aren't submerged, wouldn't they be visible and potentially confusing to other vessels/watercrafts?
"Turn of the chine" best description of where you put the outside lights. I'm going to do mine....Ascend 133x.
I'd love to see some mods he did on that Big Fish he had in the background. That's the one I have.
I have a Big Fish 120 virgin use Kayak. I am going to easily install a trolling motor. But need electric items also Humminbird fish finder bow and stern lights
What kind of lights are those you mounted inside ? Where can we find them ? Thanks.
They are Yak Power brand.
Where can I get some of those green lights
looking forward to the day someone invents a fin drive system like hobie with forward & reverse thrust that is universal and @ $500
ao s I’m almost positive I saw one that did that. Once hobies patent ran out on the mirage drive and everyone else was allowed to make their own version someone came up with that
@@andrewjimenez9692 a fin pedal drive that goes forward & reverse? Or just the propeller pedal drive system?
ao s yeah the mirage drive type can go forward and reverse but you have to manually flip something. As where the pedal drive with a prop you can just pedal back the other way to go in reverse
What kind of tray is under the seat?
Only thing left to do is take it to Zoffinger and put a 5hp outboard on it. EXTREME 😁
Hy Gene, What is the power switch for the batteries, and where available? Same for the Voltmeter with Rapid charge. USB and how will does that tells me the voltage help with battery level? not very good with numbers so how would I read that? also did you find my email sent to your gmail account for the decals?
What length paddle should I get for a bonafide ss107?
Depends on how tall you are. Most likely a 150 with how high the seat is and how wide the yak is.
Led, Where u buy...?
Where can I get the bracket you used to mount your transducer? Thank you!
I'd like to echo this question!
I presently have my tripleshot mounted on the wood block like in Gene's other video, and want this setup immediately!
Definitely! Has anyone figured this out? @Flukemaster, is this a non-Lowrance bracket you installed?
Heard back from Gene: "I ended up using the stock bracket but had to take a dremel tool to it so it would pivot out a little more to level off the transducer."
Tell u what I’d be using marine goop in them holes outside.... tbh all them holes
Gotta push those right buttons. At least, that's what she said. :S Great video Gene.
Could you share the name of the small LED lights you used on the inside?
They are YakPower Button Lights.
Never had a kayak but canoe, what should I get?
A kayak.
How well would the rs 117 handle someone 300lb+ ?
i'm 6'4" and weigh 210-220(depending on my diet that week lol) and have an RS117. I would say that if you could afford to SS127, you'd feel a lot safer. And the seat would be much better. If you can't afford that, I would go with the Old Town Topwater 120. It's the most stable boat I've ever tried(especially for the money). Has a huge load capacity and bigger guys would feel safe in that boat. The Topwater 120 is my vote for bigger guys needing a kayak for 1000 bucks or under but you really should demo a few boats IF possible. We all like different things and I know other peoples idea of "stable" is different than mine. Most boats feel very unstable to me. The RS117 is good for my size but I think if I was 20-30 pounds bigger I'd need the Topwater 120.
If you soak the rubber in amorall and a cap full of water overnight they will last 10 times longer. There is another product like formula 501 or something that is suppossed to work better.
OCD: Obsessive Coffee Disorder .....LOL
I believe the word for what you are calling the seam line is "chine."
Chuck Barnett Yeap!
Awesome 👍
Where did you get the gear tracks?
I get them from FishUSA
This is not the first i build an extremely similar on over a year ago put pod lights on the front for headlights
well your lucky to have ppl do your installs because let me tel u there not fun or easy sometimes trust me i did my yak lights
You ain’t kidding. I used to take old aluminum boats and rebuild them into all electric boats so I’ve done my share of rigging on my own.
Doing this for sooo long and yet you still don't realize that SAE connectors are only automotive grade splash proof???
So humble.
2023 and this video is still the best of its king on youtube!
What brand are those exterior lights id like to get some myself
Yak lights
@@Flukemaster thank you
Might be the "draft line"?
what brand of kayak is that
never mind i see its a bonafide
I would use a dremel for those square holes
bugs love green lights. i wanna see the video of you fishing in a floating bug cloud in the river on a summer night,
At 12:13 he mentions adding green/ red nav lights.
Green is commonly used to attract bugs. That brings in the bait fish and then the big fish.
I want a view port in mine too.
Wow! Thats alot of stuff!
Yes it is.
Are you sure that's not a bass boat?🤔 😂🤣😂
Nice ass mods ! Great job guys !
Good people ... I'm gonna see you soon the wife wants the BF 105 now the envy of my 120 she cant stand it lol
Hey Gene, I’m wanting to get into kayak fishing and fishing of a night as well. I have never been on a kayak but still wanting to get out on one and start fishing from it. I was wanting to know do the fishing kayaks have a livewell made into the kayak or is it a separate option that has to be bought and put on the kayak. Any info you good give would be appreciated. I love your fishing videos on UA-cam. I have picked up somethings I didn’t know or didn’t understand very well. The videos are super and you have done a good job in trying to educate people about fishing. Keep up the good work and keep the videos coming. By the way I live in Byrdstown Tennessee home of Dale Hollow Lake. I saw some video from when you where here fishing in the spring for smallmouth. Maybe next time I can catch up with you and meet you and talk fishing with you to learn as much as I can. Good luck on your next fishing trip and thank you for the videos.
Measure twice, cut it 'til it fits.
Fluke, would you be able to provide the products used on your yak so I could get them when I rig mine? Love how you set it up!
**nevermind, I see the final video from June! Should have known you would summarize it all!
Alrighty I'm doing this if I ever hit the lottery
Parting line!
Check the legality of those green fishing lights. It may or may not apply to a non powered craft, but It might be illegal to have red or green lights on certain sides of the kayak that may be misconstrued as nav lights. Dont let yourself get ticketed
Those won’t be for navigation lights. They are for attracting baitfish while anchored and for visual safety light. As stated in the video I will be installing navigation lights as soon as I get some red ones.
There are tons of videos on this subject. Never heard of anyone getting a ticket for having nav/anchor lights or not having lights on a kayak much less causing a wreck.
On boats those lines are called style lines
MY AM IN THE middle of getting my PatENT for my " VON HUFFEN " kayak fishing sale. Just trying to organize the companies to work with me, and to have my patent paper in my hand. And yes my early model is on UA-cam as much refined now.
Measure ten times to cut once. Oss
No machine gun mount. Wouldn’t really describe as extreme
I seriously thought about a gun rack
Oh, and where are the links for the parts INCLUDING HIS SPRING PUNCH 😂
Spring punch you can get at Harbor Freight for cheap.
I’m jelly
Genius
there goes keeping it simple.
I have a nephew who is Exactly like you exactly , we’re , drill it rite there , na turn it around , keep talking . Next tell Everyone how neat YOU made your kayak . Yep just like .
Kayakgasm 🥰😘🤣
Just starting with kayaks. Just now realized it’s possible to have $10k+ invested. 👀
It's possible but I've got about half that in mine
I have about $11,000 in mine now. What really broke the bank was the GPSMAP 8612 with the Panoptix Livescope system. Screen was so big I had to make a custom forward mount out of 3” wide aluminum bar and add the Cisco Fishing tall electronic mount to install the big screen on. The tall mount puts the base even with the top of my pedals on my outback. I basically have a forward screen now so I can look straight ahead and view. 12” screen with Livescope let’s me fish like I’m playing a video game. However, I don’t like drilling a ton of holes in my rig. And I’m old. Battery bank is set up in my crate as is the GLS-10. Switch on my battery box let’s me turn off power to GLS-10. Transducer is on a Fishfinder mount’s Gen 2 Livescope mount. Lights? I have a yak attack anti collision light with orange flag. All of my Electronics are easily removed when I load. This way, I can still load by myself as I’ve added no weight to my rig.
Dang man now that is tricked out.
over rigged- having hummingbird solix 15, full size power poles, minn kota ultrex(forget the torqueedo) and having full size spotlights on it. 👍 your welcome world
I have a serious question: Why don't you just buy a boat..? 🤔
I own a boat, but if you ever get into a kayak and hook into a big fish you'll know why I love fishing out of them. Plus I spent all day today on Guntersville in my boat and several times I wish I would have had my kayak so I could get way back in the mats where the fish were. I got my boat stuck twice trying.
I HAVE THE ANSWER FOR YOU!, MOUNT THAT TO A FRAME TO STORE UNDER A PONTOON BOAT, IT WILL ALWAYS BE WITH YOU.
To the 27 dislikes. Your just mad you drilled your holes in the wrong place........
Nice kayadillac lol
