    Just like my crate, with a couple small differences. I used hog rings for the hinges instead of zip ties, and I cut the very bottom out of a 3rd crate to make a lid for the top tray. It's hinged and locked down the same way as the top tray is. Kayak's looking good! Stay safe!

      Thank you! So many variations you can do with these crates! I made another that I put actual hinges on! Works great!

    Good stuff. Thanks for sharing. I'm looking at getting a Yukon for my first Kayak, and will be using some of your ideas.

      It’s an excellent and stable kayak! Can’t beat it! I’m debating on actually adding a trolling motor in the spring!

    I like the J-hook idea. Great suggestion.

    I have found hinges are far better than zip ties.piano,cabinet,or small door,whatever fits best.

    Nice job! What was the reason for having only three rod holders? It looks like you have place for more.

      I never really would bring more than 3 with me! But yes, there was room for more!

    Good video. Where did you get your scupper plugs? Just got the same kayak. Would like to get orange plugs as well.

      They are actually foam golf balls purchased from Walmart! They work amazing!

    What size are the screws ? I look at #8 by 5/8... thanks in advance for your help.

    Love the ideas! I have this same kayak but I added a trolling motor in the rear! The videos on UA-cam, check it out 😉

    So you waste 2 rod holders to mount an over engineered monstrosity 3 rod holder. What the fuzz man?

      The rod holder worked great! I don’t own that kayak any longer!
