Yep i already mounted a fisfinder the lowrance elite 4x with a 5 amp 4cell LIPO accu.
And a glue-on rod holder from Scotty can be used for the FF as well.
I also have plans for a second glue-on mount on the other site.
Using other rodholder solutions like pvc are quit limited due to the paddles.

Also had a solution for the transduser made from bagage elastic.

Hello all,
Thanks for the nice comments.

Today i went out on a local lake here with the boat.
Fishing for some rainbow trout.
Well this is the best boat i bought, you can row easily for "longer" distances, and once in place
you can use the fins instead.
With the fins it behaves just like a normal bellyboat, agillity is just the same.
And it has lots of room.
In short i'm very very happy with this boat  Very Happy 

Unfortunately no fish today  Crying or Very sad

You're a braver man than I am with the one handed cast. Knowing me I would've had quite a few rods go in the drink with a one handed cast  Shocked

@LOLLY,
Well i cast like this for years, but it only works (well) with rods shorter than 2 mts and reels in the 2500 and smaller series.
And if the rod goes it's own way (into the water) it will float, so just a few fin strokes and i got it again.

@Jerdon,
The dimensions ,
1,20mts wide
1,75mts long
And between the tubes 60 cm (nice and wide  Very Happy )

When the water gets warmer and the salt water bass comes in,
i will make saltwater trips with the boat.
Lets see how she holds in the salt.
