Bert, I built this DIY PVC stand for when I need to work on the yak. It was cheap and is more than sturdy enough. Best of all, it folds up and tucks neatly away when not in use. As far as permanent storage, I use the Surf To Summit nylon wall hanger. It works well and was a cheap option. The only downside is it's a bear hanging the kayak in the straps by yourself. I'm also not sure how the PA would fit in the straps. Let me know if you need pictures. http://yakfish.isaac-online.com/diy-...c-kayak-stand/

I built that same stand but used 1.5" and put wheels on it.

What parts do you plan on installing?

Hey Bert, not getting your ff right away might not be a bad thing. The best suggestion I have is to check out other rigs. See where and how other ffs are set up to get an idea of where you would like yours. Go fishing and visualize if it might be in the way for your style of fishing. Like if it might get in the way of your rod while fishing, or when netting or gaffing a fish, or entering or exiting your yak. Better to be sure before you mount it than having to move it later.

That stand will work perfect. Especially with putting wheels on it. Salty pirate can you post a pic of yours? With the wheel attachment. And thank you for the advise Kobra. Point well taken. I know I want FF as close to me as possible. Going to put it on ram ball so I can push it down if I need too. I see allot of people mounting it on the sail mast. I like it there out of the way. Just concerned on how far away that is. And being able to read the screen. Don't have the best eye site either. As far as parts I am putting on. Installing 2 rocket launchers at the front,Trolly line, rear rod extenders, and FF stuff when that gets in.

I have mine attached to the yak attack gear track works very well, and it is in reach. You should consider mounting on the gear track.

The plus with the gear track is that you can mount your accessories to them cleanly, and remove them and switch them depending upon what kind of fishing you are doing at the time.

Thank you. That is a great idea and a sweet picture.

So is the pic really to show the FF, or just another reminder of how the Team Sewer boys play?! Either way pretty awesome.
