Yep gottem on my downrigger. That's how we roll at Irvine lake!

I have two strips of angle iron bolted to the ceiling trusses in my garage. Holes drilled, hooks or loops, for tie down straps. The first few times I had a flat head lifting that PA, but it's pretty simple, slip the nose in the first loop, then tail in the second loop. Tighten the front a bit, then the back, switching back and forth until it is flat against the ceiling.

That is a slick way to store your yak. Did you just lag them into beams?

Yup....lagged in, if I remember correctly it was 7 3" lag bolts for each strip.

So I whipped this up with scrap pieces I found in my company yard. 2 pieces of 3" sch 80 PVC. Going to add wheels and deck the bottom. Took me all of 30 min before PA was sitting on top of it. Going to take PA out for a shake down run this morning some where by the house. Probably go to Elsinore. Can't wait to try this thing out!

Good job Bert. Enjoy your shake down run.

Thanks! Had a blast just cruised to one end of lake and back. Need to adjust my rudder. Likes right more then left. Other then that all went perfect. Think I going to take it out again tomorrow morning somewhere. I can't wait to get well enough to start fishing. When the sun came up I saw people fishing off the banks and two other kayaks. What is there to fish there other then carp? I wouldn't eat anything from there.
