"however the kayak was pretty much a blank slate, meaning it had no center hatch, rod holders, or even a gator hatch cut out"

As a DIY guy myself, that's the absolute best possible scenario for a yak.

Enjoy!!!

I agree with you 100%. It was a steal of a deal that I could not pass up. It’s a great kayak, and I’m really happy with it so far for the price I paid and the money I have put into it. If I do upgrade to the gator hatch it’s going to run me about $210 with all the required parts. Crack of Dawn paddle sports got back to me yesterday, and one of their associates Put together a list as well as “step by step” instructions to follow for the 2017 X-13 gator hatch version 3 install. I was very happy with their team of employees who helped me out.
