One of the fun things about being a dealer of kayaks is that I get to rig a boat just the way I want it.  I have named this particular version the Northwest Downriggin.  Take off the downrigger and you have just a Northwest version.  After fishing my other Wavewalk for 6 months I really  learned what I wanted in the boat and what I didn't.  So this is the result.  I am still considering rails to replace the front flush mounts but they are so doggone expensive.  So this version has all Scotty stuff, with Round flush mounts, rocket launchers vs. a through hull that took away a bunch of storage, gear head extender, and the pedestal mount laketroller.  I have an additional gearhead extender so I will be able to dual wield and even (if I dare the tangles) stack my downrigger. Not pictured is the fish finder which is still to be installed but that is just a matter of placement and getting another brick of ductseal.  I am excited to get this thing on the water and get back after those American Lake Kokanee!

Very nice job!  Looks like the DR with the post mount turned out perfect.

Thanks! The post mount put it in the perfect spot.  Still deciding on the exact placement of the fish finder but hope to get out this weekend or Monday!

That would be great. I have been working pretty hard and am really  looking forward to a full day off.  Some of those American Lake Kokanees would do the trick!

Yeah Exit 122 .   I might even get out there on Sunday.  Kids are all coming over early to make breakfast, and then heading to their inlaws. And so we might hit American.  It would be my wife's first time in the Wavewalk.  That might be too much of a trip so we might go catch some yellow perch on Horseshoe lake and be lazy.  But Monday I am planning on being there around 9ish. 

I just got my two pole endorsement, and I am going to try dual wield stacking the downrigger . :o  I might also borrow my son-in-laws gopro. We will see.

Love to have the company and get to meet you!
