Poor Man's Fishing Kayak Part 1: A $50 Kayak Before Mods
I show the newest addition to our fleet, a $50 kayak with outrigger floats and two paddles, before I start customizing it for fishing.
What’s in this video
This is a short before look at the newest addition to the KayakDIY fleet. I found this kayak for $50 (the price at the time) on a local Facebook swap group. It came with outrigger floats but no connection sidearms, so I’ll need to make some or redo the outriggers. It also came with two paddles.
It still needs a cleanup and a fishing fit out. This kayak starts the Poor Man’s Fishing Kayak playlist, so stay tuned for the customizations, and let me know your ideas in the comments.
