I built some stabilizers as well and spent around $80. I ended up using cam lock fittings, 2" and 1 1/2" PVC. Cheap swim floatie around PVC. link: You can view the video on my channel.
Luv the show BTW!

@stumpling00 i made a set like that for my canoe. They created a bit of drag it I paddled with them down but as stabilizers they worked very well. As stable any boat I've ever been on..

@stumpling00 That might work, but the issue will be that large-bore PVC can get quite heavy, especially if you have to put end caps on it. It will still supply ample buoyancy, but they may prove quite heavy and a pain to handle when out of the water. Plus you run the risk that, if you leave the pipes empty, they might spring a leak and become useless. Foam floats are nice because they're lightweight and won't swamp with water.

@stumpling00 the pvc will have enough buyouncy but it will be alot heavier my first idea was to use 6" pvc as well but its really heavy compared to the floats keep in mind you already have all that weight of the motor and battery so you dont want any more. These floats are lightweight snd cheap this is my stabilizer system so if you need more info send me a message.

I like the home made how to clips. Getting a new yak soon, any suggestions. I will be throwing kingfish plugs this summer and backwater fishing. E

ws tarpon good all around boat and fast.... tarpon 16 is super fast but a little more hassle to transport...
i think the future is in the hobie yaks... i love the hands free to fish, hobie mirage drive system... plus using your leg muscles instead of upper body extends your range 3 fold.... so that said, i like the hobie revolution, outback and pro angler....ty
