Seagrass Outback

Got her rigged up a couple of weeks ago and I've only shared it on FB so a litlte late but here's my Seagrass Outback. Pretty basic and standard mods. Upgraded rudder, square hatch, transplanted my Elite5Ti with Totalscan from my Thresher, 2 Hobie rod holder extensions, and 2 Railblaza rodtubes. I also have the BerleyPro visor and totalscan transducer plate. There's also a no drill anchor trolley which works quite well. I put the Railblazas where they are as they are easy to get to and adjustable for either just holding rods, or swung out for bait/trolling. The rod holders there might be a tight fit for bigger guys but it feels just right for me, so no more gainz in the gym
. In the picture the wires aren't run to the sounder yet, but I did it about 2 days after. I was waiting on another power cable for it, makes moving the head unit between boats and kayaks easier.

Nice, im still struggling with rod holders the maverick came with 3 adjustable ones up front on a cross member, but to far forward to be useful, so I've moved 2, one either side of the seat
i will most likely fit berkely QS rod holders where they were, i also have a starport to fit the side rails which i use for the 3rd rod holder when fishing for other smaller fish, however i wouldn't like to hook anything to big in it, atm i only have one rod i think is suitable for snapper, but since you are allowed 4 thats what i would like to have setup
i think i will eventually make something to fit in the rails to mount the heavier starports so i can have 2 rods out each side at anchor

Hey peatop, What are those wheels you used to make your trolley/cart? How do they perform on soft sand?

Never seen seagrass that looks anything like that! Perhaps 'calf-S#!^ green' would me more accurate (if you've ever worked on a dairy farm, you'll know exactly what I mean)

Thanks guys. Yea, same sea grass as the compass. I actually really like the color Mingle. Pretty visible on the water too. I've always had yellow or red yaks so this was a really nice change for me. I think it actually looks tons better in person.
