Would a Scotty gunwale clamp and a Scotty transducer arm work?

This is the strap-on mount for the Garmin Striker from FishFinderMounts that is very similar to Scotty float tube mount. I'm not sure there is much to choose from between the two. You still have to remember to move the transducer when landing! Nocqua package is slick but kind of pricy in...

I'm from Calgary, a few hours South of Edmonton, so not directly familiar with the offering in the Edmonton area. Although this CBC news article is a few years old, it provides a good summary of the opportunities in the area. Unfortunately, Edmonton is a ways from the Rockies and the river...

Have you looked at this video - both Tim Flagler and Phil Rowley.

I'll second Ive's suggestion to look at the options FishFinderMounts.com has to offer. I have a Fish Cat Scout frameless pontoon and am using this strap-on mount of theirs. The display is mounted low and it keeps the display and transducer together on one strap. This strap-on mount would...

Another vote for the 8'-6" TFO Pro II rod. The 8'-6" length will be way more versatile for your fishing. Not sure if you came across this YouTube review of the Professional. I have the Pro/Pro II in 3 different weights and am a big fan of both TFO and Professional rods. You can't beat TFO's...

Have you considered replacing the canvas strap on your Grizzly with a newer kayak style seat with a higher back, like the seat on the Scadden Predator? You could probably pick up a used seat from Craig's List or Marketplace to experiment with. At 67, I've got similar lower back issues that...

I've had luck fishing for Walleye in Manitoba with Woolly Buggers and Chartreuse Clousers, slow retrieve. Ken

After modifying the front, I toyed with the idea of adding reinforcing to the front corners and or down the sides. I'm glad I resisted those urges - with the foam only on the front, the apron still rolls into a compact package for storage. Bonus - the foam is also a handy place for drying flies!

I bought this belt from Amazon this spring for use with my pant waders and chest waders on my pontoon. I'm not a fan of the stretchy belts or the thin Simms belts. I've been really happy this belt. The buckle if sturdy and the belt material is more flexible that a lot of stiffer 2" duty...

Glad the new tube is working out for you. I'm in similar situation in that I'm getting tired having to wrestle my Fish Cat Scout pontoon onto the roof of my Honda CR-V if I want to keep it inflated. I do want to have oars with whatever boat I get next and the options are limited. Nice that...

I initially was not impressed with the stripping apron on my Scout either when I first got it. I stiffened the front of the apron with a piece of zip tied foam pipe insulation and am happy with it now. A piece of pool noodle would work as well. Although the apron has measure marks on it for...

The info below is from Outcast's website for some of their float tubes. I think the key point is that the seat bladders are oversized - you don't need an exact fit. And since these bladder aren't your primary floatation, you don't have to be as concerned about materials, construction, etc...

I'll second Zak's comments. I also feel safer on my 2 chamber Fish Cat Scout but I always wear a higher end, self-inflating PFD with a hydrostatic sensor. I've never had it go off by accident. Punctures or seam failures might not be in my control but a PFD is. I accept that I am taking...

I think off the back is the best option for these inflatable boats. The Scotty Anchor Lock should work well for the Grizzly. I don't anchor my Outcast Fish Cat Scout that often, but I have my anchor lock mounted at the back, on the corner of a homemade PVC motor mount (red circle below)...

Phil Rowley did good YouTube video a few months ago for Outcast. Tactical Fly Fisher lists them but appear to be sold out right now. I have also seen other people mention the Ikea bag as wanderingrichard suggested.

I picked up a 24" wind sock and a wind sock harness for my Fish Cat Scout. It did slow down my drift the couple of time I tried it, but it doesn't give you the same control that you'd get from a Loch style para drogue. The para drogues are hard to come by in North America.

I think the Outcast rep got it wrong regarding the Scout. My 2014 model Scout does have rings for straps either and as Kilchis photo shows, the seat is too high. Flipping it 180 deg. might be an option if you found a way of attaching backpack straps. However, I bought my Scout used and it...

Ammo boxes from military surplus stores, Bass Pro/Cabelas, Amazon come in a lot of different sizes and have convenient carry handles. Easy to customize for the connector type you are using.
