    A 305 cup Folgers coffee bucket fits perfectly in the center hatch. Just the right height to not slide around inside and still latch the lid. Free mod if you know someone that drinks that brand.

    GREAT tip on the Behr paint can ... genius. Lifetime sells a small canister to insert there, but it's small and mostly useless. That can is awesome. Thx!

    Thanks for the video man. I recently got a Lifetime Tioga angler and I love it. I wish there was a way to upgrade the seat without drilling into the hull of the kayak. I got one of those seat pads and I took a hammock strap and ran it through the back of the seat and tied them to the handles on the kayak to provide more back support.

    I got the green tamarack, good little boats. Thinking about trying it in some kayak tournaments. Feel like a jerk saying it but it would be funny if I land in top 3 against some 8k dollar rigs decked out with live scopes lol

    This is modifying….I’ve had my tam for three years and love it.
    Last year I modified it with a minnkota 30, I have a bro craft mount. Lights: blue/green leds underneath and front running leds. Running off a 6 switch console with 7 inch cv plus fish finder. There’s two lithium batteries in the haul that feeds the front and 100ah lithium for the motor.
    “YES” balance is your top concern, always keep that in mind when modifying.
    I’m currently having a new minnkota traxxis 45 shaft cut down to 28 inches. Minnkota wouldn’t do it so I had to source it out. Hopefully it’ll be done by next week.

    What kind of fish finder do you have? I think a similar setup would work nicely on my Teton 100. I've been unusually skunked a lot this year, I think one of those would help.

      Dude! It’s an absolute game changer. I have the Deeper Pro+. Got it on sale for 149. Grabbed the mount for it, and mounted to the track. Perfect finder for the yak.
      Good luck!
