Flycraft fly fishing boat upgrades

- My brother bought a Flycraft a few years back and we have had an awesome time using it to fish the waters of the Pacific Northwest. The boat is fantastic, but there were a few things that needed an upgrade. In this video, Devin goes over the things he did to the boat to make it even more epic. #flycraft #trouttwins #yeticoolers #flyfishing
Wow-love the set up, cigars, creativity and personality!!!
Thanks John! It’s brought us a ton of fun, that’s for sure. Thanks for the comment.
Very nice. I will be stealing that over rod platform idea. 👍
Perfect! Hope it turns out for you.
Those are some really well done modifications, well done. Step looks awesome!
Thanks so much! So far they’ve performed perfect. Thanks for the comment
Awesome man! I’m picking up a used stealth today and am pretty stoked
You’ll love it! We’ve had so much fun!
The little boards to store stuff and aid entry and egress are awesome. I have a 12x54 raft like yours and this is inspired modifications. Getting in and out of the rowers seat with lots of rods and gear is always a challenge. Inspired design+build. Have fun!
I’m glad you found something useful from the video. We are excited to give it all a test run soon!
Do you have the design specks. I would love to decrease that for my 3 man
@@CsCarlton1973 Unfortunately I do not. My brother did the work and he pretty much winged it, making changes to the design as he went. I can certainly have him give you some insight if you have a specific question about the design. Just let me know. Thanks for the question.
That oak platform for over the rods is brilliant. I will have to make one soon. But you should a hundred percent make those and sell them. I am sure there are other flycraft owners that would love to just buy it.
It’s definitely been a game changer climbing in and out of the boat. Maybe flycraft will come up with something similar they can sell as an accessory!? Thanks so much for the comment.
@@trouttwins4721 yes, I would buy for sure.
What are those three little nubby posts sticking up from the wood and in between the rods?
@@JerrodPotter Hey Jerrod, those are actually wood dowels. They are stained black and epoxied, secured underneath by screws countersinked. Good luck
how did you connect your fabricated wood (both sides; i.e. cigar holder and knee rest) to the boat? u-clamps? AND if I can be even more nosy what are the dimensions??? HAHAH thanks
How do you guys like the stability? Any issues with the boat standing etc? Thanks
Stability is pretty good. No issues standing at all…the braces are fantastic, allowing you to hook both or one leg in for extra stability. It’s a narrow boat, so catching an edge on a current or a rock can bump ya pretty good if your not paying attention. But overall no issues in that area👍
I couldn’t catch the information you provided on the camera pole system you have on the rear of the raft. Would you provide the name of that system? Thanks
Hey John, it’s called railblaza. My brother got it in Amazon.
Hey would you mind sharing some details on how you mounted the wood to the frame?
Let me check with my brother but I think he used c clamps. I’ll get back to you👍
Hey, I just checked with him. He used plastic hose clamps to secure the oak from underneath. Good luck and let me know if you have any other changes.
Amazing thanks!@@trouttwins4721
Any chance you could drop a link to the specific railblaza you bought, and did you drill into the metal to attach it?
Send me an email and I can get you those links. And yes, my brother drilled into the metal to attach it.
