Look out fish I got me a yak

[PlasticFantastic]

Well I saved up some pennies and kept an eye on a few online forums for secondhand yaks and the other day a Viking Profish 45 popped up for a good price in good nick and unmodified and locally. So with that i'm going to be the proud owner of a Profish 45 only thing is now after I pick it up I wont have roof racks for another month because i'm broke again. It's going to be hard just looking at it but it was a good deal not to be missed so hopefully in the near future I can join a few of you guys for a fish somewhere. Also if anyone knows of someone with a set of roof racks to suit a TR/TS Magna Sedan going cheap let me know other wise it's going to kill me waiting to get out on the water.

Cheers

member "robin" has a set of "soft racks" that he is willing to sell for $45 (he is on the Southside, otherwise I may have bought them!)

they could be a quick solution to your problem and get you on the water while you look for "proper" ones

have fun with your new toy!

I have thought about soft racks but weren't to sure how safe they would be for a yak that size. I'd hate for the thkng to fall off round a corner or something.

Welcome to the Tupperware Navy PF. The weather looks a bit suspect this weekend, so use the time like tBox said and plan your pimping.

Oh and Dassa can you get me a coffee mate, I'll look after your boat while you're gone.

You picked up a good score there. Was that the $900 one on AKKF, if it was still there when I got back from Mackay next week I was going to grab it.

You will have a lot of fun with her, should be plenty of pelagics again this year if the reports so far are accurate. :cheer:

There as good rig mate.

The soft roof racks are always a good option. Detachable and far less expensive than a full set. Sold a few sets when I was selling more for Viking.

Yeah it was the one of AKKF, was to a good a deal to pass up. Might look into those soft racks just so i can at least go down the road and launch it.

Hey buddy, nice looking profish you have there! (i got the same one, same color haha)

Just throught id let you knwo i use the Sea2Summit soft roof racks on my Highlux (lifted 5" running 33's - see profile pic) and it works a treat... just make sure you use a few tie down points and sling a few ratchit straps over it and through the scupple holes.

Had mine on the car using the soft racks about 5 times and works a treat. They cost me $99 from BCF :cheer:

Cheers,
