Hey bro, I have my jonny boats bass 100. She's gonna be my 1st and last vessel. Love it. I have my 2.5 hp suzuki, I diy'd the small 30lb thrust Minn-kotaoff her bow. I also added the scotty outriggers. Just an FYI. Scotty has these stainless steel screws with a rubber seal. They're incredible. No leaks no silicone. If you watch Marty install the scotty outriggers, those well nuts are in that video. Even the legend was impressed. Lol..check them out, unless you've already found them. Be safe bro..
i think you'll like the hobie h-rails if you add them on, acts as a handle and lots of room for mounting rods, paddle and other things plus if you go over board it's a good handle to pull you back in. my buddy has it on his solo skiff and it's pretty cool.
How long did you have this solo skiff? Whats the main reason you got rid of it? If you had to choose the 2016 hobie outback or skiff for everyday, what would you choose and why?
no solo any more. great boat. id get what the folks I fish with have. if u have a solo u will be solo unless a few friends have solos. if ur friends have yaks and you have a solo they can't follow u and if they do u can't pole the solo as quick as a hobie will pedal. I just say use what the folks u fish with use. or just get a boat a couple folks can go on with you . unless you fish solo then the solo skiff is perfect.
I added a grab bar to stand up on and lean on since I don't have my balance yet. Plus, the Ram Mount roller ball holder has a better grip on my yak attack push pole than the yak attack paddle holder so no need to torque it. Thx Ty and great video.
Hey Ty, looking good, Need to get a 2'' skiff lift transom mount. It gives you a little lift to run a little shallower, and helps protect that transom. I have one on mine and its awesome.
man i gotta do that!!!!!! i need a more shallow run. the reinforcement would be killer as well... u have a vid on it??? shoot me info to tyonthefly@Yahoo.com if u can
@@30mofishing ua-cam.com/video/UWLYfXYbwBg/v-deo.html This will give you a idea, i didnt loose any turning and putts the cav plate even with the bottom of the stiff.
Ty, thanks for sharing your mods. Just got my skiff for Christmas. I put mighty mounts on both sides ( right down to the Starbrite Silicone ) and my Tohatsu 6hp showed up the other day! Man I’m ready to go. Bless you and Theresa and happy fishing in 2020. Hope to be posting solo skiff videos myself soon. My wife said she is not getting on the front of the skiff though. Thanks for sharing.
We do anchor a good bit. Usually with stake out pole. The drift sock let’s u cover lots of water and find fish. Drifting flats is a big thing here in south Texas.
You need to add extensions to those rod holders. Those reels are going to get soaked being that far back and that low. I have mine farther forward (mounted to the Boonedox) with the extensions and they still get wet at times.
Nice setup. It's a good thing you pointed out trying it inside of the skiff before you start drilling. I love Yak Attack products. I have their tracks all over my 2016 Outback. Their Omega Pro rod holders are awesome. I still get nervous whenever I drill into my kayaks. I check at least 5 times before I start drilling. I look forward to seeing what else you do to the Solo Skiff.
What mods are you making for when in open water with a 2 foot chop......Love the Solo but have not seen a video in rough water..... It's always nice when your running out.......Coming back not so much.......LOL!
@@30mofishing Yep I Grew up in P-cola but almost 2 hours from the beach now days... in Brewton Alabama can't always get the weather i want..... But Great videos!!!!!
Should look into getting a outboard kicker motor mount it will push your motor back more towards he Stern like a typical boat give you more room and alot more adjustability for fishing deeper water or in inches of water if you choose
I don't own one personally but I've seen a lot of solo skiffs with the Hobie H-Rails that seem to open up a lot of rigging options. And they have a natural curve that seems to go along perfect with the Skiff.
when will you be back up at texoma. Bruce and I met both of you at the light house marina. I got my solo skiff i take on texoma all the time. lets go chase stripers.
Nice video, You and a few others are making me shop for one as I speak. Curious if you or anybody has ever considered adding a retro pedal drive like H2pro drive? Would be a nice backup to an outboard breakdown as well as a leg powered trolling motor so you're hands free. Thoughts?
Have to agree about putting too much on and putting it in the wrong place. My old Kayak looks like a well used pin cushion with silicon implants and Joe Biden plugs now. But at least I will know better on my next Yak. Thanks for bringing this up.
A single, fixed, GoPro mount in front? Keep it as simple as possible. Those will be tight quarters for two. Please be careful. A 1/0 jig makes a very ugly earring.

i put a 9.8 hp on mine goes hard
you need to thru bolt those
I don't put enough pressure on them for that. But if u troll big lip baits then yes.

Can you send me a photo of that grab bar you added

Is the motor a short or long shaft.....15 inch or 20 inch?
Short

I have the non lift, well worth the money. 2” gonna loose some turning radius but if you in the flats all the time might be a good option..

x2 on the 2" skiff lift transom. They're from Houston.
I want one for ponchatrain!
Be epic for that spot. U can run from causeway to any marsh or piling. Big lake!!

you refer to the wind sock often. I assume you never anchor in order to fish one spot?
We do anchor a good bit. Usually with stake out pole. The drift sock let’s u cover lots of water and find fish. Drifting flats is a big thing here in south Texas.
Well done!
Get a couple 8 inch extentions to get them a little higher and dryer.
You need to add extensions to those rod holders. Those reels are going to get soaked being that far back and that low. I have mine farther forward (mounted to the Boonedox) with the extensions and they still get wet at times.
Looks great my friend

Just an idea but would a suction cup ram camera mount be useful? Help move the camera to different angles? Whaaaaat!
Great idea

I’m blessed enough to live on a peninsula/island. If there is a two foot chop I wait till tomorrow!!! Lol

Don’t forget the oh shit handle! That anchor cleat might be in the way for it lol. I got one from Academy $9.95
👍👍 Really enjoy these installation videos and thanks for sharing how u setup ur boat from a blank canvas!! Keep'em coming TnT guys!!👏✌️😀😎👊💪✝🐟🎣🚤☮🇺🇸🇺🇸
You might want to consider an anchor trolley for your drift sock so you can control your angle of attack on drifts.
Looks good let's go try em
I don't own one personally but I've seen a lot of solo skiffs with the Hobie H-Rails that seem to open up a lot of rigging options. And they have a natural curve that seems to go along perfect with the Skiff.
Suggest using the stadium bench seat for those long runs. Knowing you, you will use the throwable PFD. Great Vid!
lol... roger that
nice boat...why you don't use a tape measure and get stuff centered and clean, Jesus I would treasure that skiff
My eyes are laser calibrated to exact measurements sir.
30milesOut BEST REPLY EVER 🤣🤣🤣
Looking good
I always worry when I take a drill to my yak 😬
when will you be back up at texoma. Bruce and I met both of you at the light house marina.
I got my solo skiff i take on texoma all the time. lets go chase stripers.
Not sure. Never know tho
Those look soo cool. They need to come out with a "Dolo" Skiff so I can have an excuse to get one for my son and I.
*Duo skiff
That's sure a very cool rig you got there Ty. I always loved that sea foam green color. Now go catch them there trout man.😃🙂
Dang I want one so bad. Get out there and fish that rascal!!!

Love the new ride. I need a solo skiff, any one want to buy a hunter 19 sailboat?

Only pros on the solo sir lol
