I just bought it 6 weeks ago so it might be an antique but it’s brand new to me! Paddles great and I removed the rudder which I should point out in the pics. The rudder really isn’t needed as far as I could tell and taking it off removes a lot of hardware and lines I’m happier without.
I have mine on my Tarpon 160os ( thats Old School, the one before wells, I have 2 hatches) and I have a triple bar on an extender between my feet. Most of the time I will pull it out and stuff it in the crate behind me ( bungee’d down on top of the hatch) to give myself a clear deck. Any other ya I am usually standing and the rod holder is mounted behind me. A buddy made dome fly rod holders out of PVC that fit in the rocket launchers behind the seat and they are awesome!
@ Local hero, I never had a rudder on mine and some times I wish I had one. When you are just paddling to and from its not needed but when you start gettin in creeks and trying to work a drift it would be helpful…
