Averaging 7ah per hour of fishing

What kind of speed do you make in that thing?

I believe I checked once with gps, and was getting close to 4.5

I'll have to check again with the new rigging, I expect it to change when I upgrade props as well

Fix for now, simply unthread the t handle and swap the rear plate.

Velcro to help with shear load on the skeg.

Spend any more time on her? I'm about to pull the trigger

Yes I go about once a week, but the sun sets here about 430 right now. My only gripes are still that read hull access being a waste of deck space, and the plastic overall is kinda thin, but right now that's to be expected from all manafacturers, also nice to know there's a lifetime parts and hull warranty on it.

Do you have a Facebook? There is absolute TON of deals right now on used/new nucanoe's on the owners group and specific model groups

Likely "stimulus check" kayaks they were used a couple times but now it's too cold lol

There are some new colors for 2022, camo seats instead of black, but lots of parts are on backorder as well (decking mat, scupper plugs, etc...) They are included the company just ships them too you after purchase.

The owner of the company actually vacations in Destin/SRB from Washington, he's also very active on the FB groups helping people with some of their add-ons and any quality issues

Thank you for the response. Naw I don't do Facebook but it sounds like I should. Seems like everyone is selling there these days.

There is a Nucanoe dealer about 40 miles from me in Daphne, AL. Called up there yesterday and he is actually supposed to be getting more Unlimiteds this week. I'm still laid up from shoulder surgery and won't be able to fish/paddle til around Spring time I'd say. Debating whether to pick one up now or wait a bit and maybe pick up a 2022 model early next year. Not sure if anything will be different than the 2021 models besides the colors.

Just curious. Have you seen any for sale on the secondary market or a good deal on a new one near me in Pcola? I don't mind driving a bit if the price is right.

No change other than the colors, there's constantly more accessories being released by Nucanoe as well

Most recent I think is an adapter plate to accept boonedox landing gear

Someone actually asked about pcola 5 days ago, plenty of used for sale

Keep in mind there will likely be a surge in purchases come spring. Lots for sale right now while it's cold

Thanks man I really appreciate it. I'm gonna see if my wife will let me into her FB so I can check it out. Any other groups you recommend trying besides the NuCanoe Owners Club?

There are "NuCanoe (insert model here)" owners groups, but the regular nucanoe group is the largest I believe.

Models such as Flint, unlimited, f12, etc...

Once you buy a NuCanoe, register it online and they will send you parts as the become available, a free thru-hull kit, and a free t-shirt/hat. As well as their online forum I believe.

The motorguide trolling motor group has been helpful as well as the motorized kayaks page.

As much as I hate what Facebook stands for, it's an extremely large wealth of information, I use it for work too, machine (sewing) questions that aren't mentioned online anywhere else.

Ask your dealer about discounts, I could have saved 10% on the kayak by mentioning KFNW (kayak fishing northwest)

Nick (Navarre kayak fishing) has a great review on nucanoe and the pedal drive system as well

 

[NKlamerus]

More mods to the rig, anyone want to guess how much 4" of lift is going to affect the stability of the kayak?

Going to test it tomorrow, really put some weight in the old box and paddle around with it higher and lower

Thanks for the continued updates, looks like you're really dialing it in! I like your cart build, I may use the idea for something similar. I agree the wheels mid-hull are inconvenient with the truck bed but it's a bit heavy if they are at the stern so I"m working on a solution to keep them about 2/3 the way aft so I can load to the truck bed without removing them for short drives. I like the hull guide placements to center it. Appreciate the updates!

Thanks for all the information! I'm gonna browse around there to see if I can find me a deal before I get a new one.

Went for a test run with the raised tackle box. Just filled them water for test wait

It's 42 degrees out and I had to wait between storm fronts

No motor

Couldn't feel a difference really, my seat up 2" made way more of a change.

The best thing to do would be to lose 20lbs!

Another trip to the hardware store.

Ive got the rails pretty much done, don't think I'm going to paint them.

I went with stainless eyes on the outside of the rear one, I've been looking for a place to strap my kayak cart in that general area, and this should do the trick.

Rubber fender washers under everything.

The box indexes with 2 of it's feet into the rear aluminum bar, which stops it from sliding unless it jumps out, I don't know if I should secure it further with some bungee loops

Hey good Idea with the dewalt box lol

Where you going? Looks like most the ice fishing setups these days

That's where I got the idea. This will be used on different boats. But only for the active target. It with fit in my Kayak And on the front of my 22 foot blazer bay (Stays in freash water now ) and is not in the way. May also stick it in the cabin off the offshore for cast netting deep bait.

Scupper plugs showed up, these were free, supposed to be included when purchased but they were either redesigning them or out of them.

Pretty similar to the perception ones I've been using

Legal in Oregon, titled and registered

Putting together pieces for the last big upgrade, thinking Garmin 93sv UHD while they are all about 700$ with the gt54

The 73 will be ~500$ according to the leaked sale pages

Fishing has been incredibly slow especially without side imaging or any sonar, been lucky to find a few small schools by chance
