Well, my lovely OK Scupper Pro has finally become a fishing boat! Prior to the Cressbrook weekend, Richo purchased the bits and pieces and met me at my place friday morning to help me fit it out. :twisted:
I gotta say I was pleasantly surprised at the thickness of the deck on this yak, a good 5mm of very solid plastic.
List of add-ons :-
Rear flushmounts
Centre Hatch
Berkley adjustable
Side handles
Centre flushmount for rigging
Scupper plugs

All up, I'm bloody stoked, this boat rocks! 8)

[Dodge]

Karl you have a great rig there and the colour is tops and very visible on the water :wink:

 

[YakAtak]

Thanks guys

 

[Fishing Man]

I agree Karl,

nice yak mate, the colour looks unreal hey,

 

[Phoenix]

That looks real nice. Any plans for electrics, sounder nav; light - etc?

 

[YakAtak]

Cheers Ben

Phoenix, I think I can probly find room on the console for a sounder.
..... maybe a UHF radio and GPS if I decide to go outside.

Karl , beautiful clean lines, uncluttered,exactly like it should look , and the colour is great, like it

 

[PhilipL]

She looks sweet. What gets rigged in the centre flushmount - are you talking FF etc?

Like it says Dodge, you're a legend

 

[YakAtak]

Thanks Baz :wink:

Phil, the centre flushy points forward a little and is used to hold my rod while I rig up the line, it's also handy if I'm doing a bit of drifting/cast and retrieve to pop the rod in while I paddle back up the current for another drift.

Karl
She really looks good
I saw a grey one in Anaconda a while ago, really a tidy looking unit.
Good on you Richo for helping Karl :!: If you'd only come over and do my lawn :lol: :lol: :lol:

Now that you've had a few trips in the Scupper are you still happy with it :?:

i like the look of these things how do they go how much are they might go and check one out.

 

[YakAtak]

Chris, I love it mate, paddling into the heavy gusts on cressbrook sunday arvo would have been pointless on the espri, but with the scupper I made a steady pace with the same sort of effort I would have had to deploy just to stay stationary on the espri.
I also had a chance to test the stability on a few ocasions where my entry was a bit clumsy and she handled it very well.

dooyor, I think the RRP is about $1250 and you can check one out at anaconda. You can see my first impressions report in the 'Which Kayak for Me' section of the forum.

i had a look at the scupper when i got my swing and i must admit I was really impressed with the quality of the boats. they look really strong and great hatches on them.
