Sting of the WSB PA17T (pro angler 17t) - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

wiredantz · 05-15-2018, 07:17 AM

Outriggers are to keep bow from plowing into waves when under motor power.... And the Xi5 trolling motor on the bow didn't help.

Also, at night... I cant see nothing... so I feel a bit safer when a sudden swell sneaks up from only God knows where.

Whenever I think about leaving them behind... I think about my Good friend/ Friend who know hates me.... who capsized his PA14 while hooping.

How many batteries to you have for the motor, and where do you store them ?

wiredantz · 05-16-2018, 06:32 AM

the PA17t has enough room to bout a 100 amp 12v lithium battery, in a specially designed battery holder in the stern of the kayak... and as far as spare batteries for the torqeedo i just tie them to the H bar...so they don't float away

You could buy a 17' Boston Whaler for cheaper than what it cost for your rig, have you ever surf launched that beast?

you could get a boat for cheaper than what we spend on our rigs.
