Got my Naive 12 partially outfitted with an anchor trolley system I rigged up from scratch, thanks to the examples posted on this site. Kind of heavy duty, as i had a half dozen 3" stainless rings lyin' around made out of 5/16" bar that a crab fisher gave me, and used one of those for the "hookup ring."  That will make it easy to stick a pole thru it for staking out my kayoe.  Entire rig easily unclips for transport.

No poleholders yet, but am getting some.  Don't use 'em much fly fishing, but I will need them for lugging the spin rod and trolling rod.  Cut some 1 1/4"  (inner dia.) pvc conduit I had lying around into 3 pieces and zip-tied them to a milk crate I had. Had to notch the middle of one bottom edge of the crate to get it to sit flat due to the skeg box. So now I have one of those crate setups...whoopee!

My rear skirt arrived (backordered) yesterday, and now I can describe the Native 12 as a "Ragtop SIK."
Yep, fully skirted up, it looks like a convertible.  Remove the skirts, and its a canoe.

Oops! Running late for heading out to the lake! Trout fishing today! Woohoo! >:D Report later.

Already eddycatin' myself about SOTs and keeping my eyes open. Saw a couple of ScupperPros for sale pretty cheap on B.I. in Craigslist, but I'm not sure if I want one. Lookin' at the OK Prowler 13, Big Game 12, and the Mantas, Tarpons, and Cobras. I'm going to have to try some out first, though.
