Picked up this bad boy on Saturday and took it out for a shake down on the Charles on Sunday. It's a nice fishing platform although the winds blow it around as though it had a sail on it. I bought it for fly fishing but it will definitely be getting an anchor trolley this week.

Good Luck with it 
Nice yak! Yeah a trolley anchor is pretty much indispensable IMO. I've been looking at the Jackson Kilroy myself. It's a hybrid between a sit-in and sit-on. Here's a link to the walkthrough for anyone interested.[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMZhNK2Jpec&list=tDLRBQGvjWcSg5WYGfRC3mM2AT8yptQD&index=0&feature=plcp[/youtube]
Also if you look at the video of the demo, a guy is practically doing hand stands on the thing and trying to tip it over, but can barely do it.

Awesome new rig John...it looks versatile yet comfortable. Good luck on it...hopefully Larry takes you for a ride in it!
A question for the group, obviously the width of the kayak will help to dictate it's stability but what else do you look for? My wife may want to get one for next year and I want it to be stable and comfortable....thanks.

Yeah, the Kilroy looks really interesting. If you like to stand, this may be one of the most stable platforms on the market because it's center of gravity is so low.
