I posted this video recently. I purchased a Ride 115 last year (my first kayak) so I spent a lot of time searching internet and looking at videos and customizing it for your style of fishing. You have to figure out what works best for you. I waited till just a few months ago to finally “drill some holes and pop some rivets.” I installed a deluxe anchor trolley system and also a pad eye using the rivets. The biggest thing for me was do I use a “scupper cart” or not. My neck is bad so I cannot store on roof. I made my own scupper cart for about $23 and it lets me rig up the yak in driveway and slide into back of my Subaru on a tarp, then I secure it inside with kayak straps so when at dock all I do is unstrap it, slide in cart, put poles in and I’m gone!!
