This way ... it allowed me some time to become familiar with my FT. example:
a) the adjustment of the seat psi
b) the adjustment of the inflatable backrest psi
c) getting familiar with the bladders being at 1.8 psi
d) learning my lean forward limits
e) stowing lite gear is the next challenge

Here she is .....

Congratz on the first voyage!
How was the fishing, serious lack of cover there.

I finished building the rod rack this weekend. I'm very pleased with the way it is very stable.

Looks very clean, the black looks nice with the orange.
What size Force Fins did you end up getting?

Hey, dan. looks awesome, my friend! another option I discovered on mine is to use a 22 degree elbow to have the rod angle just a little closer to the water. I felt mine was too high when fishing and this was the solution, for me anyway Cool also I use a threaded male/female adapter for my trolling "swivel" only one half is shown because the other is glued to the rack

I followed your advice.  Cool  Thank you.
I also added some recoil rod leashes 1' - 7'. They will be out of the way.
Just a habit from my short lived kayak days.

Just noticed you might wanna put the threaded coupling below the 22 deg. elbow, otherwise you get this weird "swinging arc" when you move the rod holder back and forth. just a thought, and glad to see it coming along nicely, sir!
