Bought it this spring for $499. Has a Hummingbird fishfinder and a redesigned seat that sits higher and is more comfortable. Anchor system and added floatation.

Don't know how to post pictures but I'm in the CS area. Wet twice, I'm just not using it so it needs to find a new home. A nice starter kayak for
somebody.

$350.00

Screw it...I'll take it Ed. I can come down this weekend and get it. PM me your phone number again please, I'm to lazy from all the OT for the last 6 months to look for it. We can work a day out before then! THX!

THX Ed! Good seeing you and the wife again! I'll post up a review after I get it out on some water! I just ordered some mods for it like some rod holders, wheel cart, a suction cup for the transducer and a few other things! :thumb::thumb::thumb:

Yes bud I have found a couple sites for accessories, one being BPS at least for the Ascend Yaks. The suction cups I ordered are actually lash point suction cups I was going to modify into a transducer mount by cutting off the center hold down rivet, mount an aluminum rod to it then mount the transducer to the end of the tube. Here is the suction cup...

but then I ran across a Ram Mount Transducer mount that attaches directly to your Yak and is a lot more sturdy than my suction cup mount idea. I ordered two, one for my Yak and one for my rigid toon!!! Here's the link to this mount, they actually have a few different mounts...

Kastmisser, here is what the Ram Mount transducer mount looks like installed...


Ed, here's a couple of the new mods I installed. I put on a more comfortable seat, wheel kit and a rod holder. Thinking about a couple flush mounts behind the seat on the sides also. Also have a storage crate to go behind the seat! Filling in some of the holes with plastic weld and adding some bungees up front for storage!




If anybody needs some black polyethylene welding rod for patching holes and cracks in kayaks or rigid pontoons let me know, I screwed up my order and ended up with a chit load. Also I have some extra scupper plugs since BPS sent double my order if anybody needs a couple...11/16"-15/16"...

You've really got that thing looking good!!! Way better than the stuff I tried to do with it.

Glad to see its going to get some use. The wife made me buy the purple one-shes an LSU tiger. Payback for my Arkansas
razorbacks beating up on them last fall. :)
