Found my 'new to me' unit. It's an OK prowler 13.  I don't have it in my hands yet as I have to jump across the pond to get it but it's exactly what I was looking for. Can't wait to take it out!

Thanks guys ;D Between work, the kids and life in general it's painful that I cant just go pick it up right now. It'll be a day trip to grab it and the seller is holding it for me. Until then, all I've got are the pics.  I've got a Humminbird 325 series fish finder that will just plug right into the existing bracket/transducer. Guess it's time to start modifying the milk crate, cooler  and pvc pipe hahaha.

Congrats buddy!  Stoked to hear you were able to get things worked out with Len, he's a great guy and ambassador for the sport, I was sure you two could get something figured out!  Until you're able to pick up your boat, your welcome to my loaner anytime you like.  Maybe we could try and arrange a fishing excursion around your exchange.  Would sure be something for your first fish in your yak to be a dino!

I really like my Trident Prowler 13', but my old shoulder injury prevented me from going very far or vary fast, hence Why I have the Hobie now!  The Trident was a great boat and super stable to sit sideways and fly fish!  Never did try standing in it!

I rally do like the seat upgrade with the rod holders and bag!

haven't been on in awhile, but I thought I'd add some pics of the new rig during battle! I've been out about a half dozen times, caught a handful of small cutthroat and a couple of small rainbows. I cant wait 'til the warmer months when the bass are starting to feel a little more lively  :banjo: I don't have too many pics yet but since I've picked her up I've added 2 scotty spin cast rod holders, a fly rod holder, a triple mount,  of course the infamous modified milk crate with pvc rod holders and an ass groove in the seat.

Nice catch.  Don't let all the safety czars posts scare you off, but do listen to them.

Thanks Lee! I figured I should expect a couple comments.  I forgot to mention, I\ve picked up a proper pfd since then too  ;D

Cool, I've been promoted to Czar.

How cold is that water?  Ever heard of the "gasp reflex"?  Good on the PFD, but next you need some cold water protection.  Waders and paddle top work, as does a wetsuit, and of course a dry-ish suit.
