After going 0 for 8 on getting a used kayak from craigslist/this forum/others, I finally get myself a Tarpon140 yesterday. Saying I am excited about it would be a huge understatement.

NOw comes the stupid question-

I have been looking for milk crate to store my gear for weeks, and I would actually prefer to pay for one rather than take it from the back of stripes. Technically that is stealing and although its a trivial thing, I would rather not get arrested for taking a stupid crate. I have asked corner store attendents/grocery store clerks if I could have one or purchase one, and have been striking out. What the heck is the deal? Who would have thought I could find a used kayak easier than finding a used milk crate. Does anyone know where I could get one easy?

pretty sure you can buy one at Roys, go upstairs.

I got a spare or two (I didn't steal them, I just happen to have them in my possession..... ). If you want one, just let me know.

try the stripes on SPID and Airline. Thats where i got mine and I asked them. If you strike out let me know - I will hand off my milk crate to you in a ceremony...lol Also the Ace hardware in the bluff has a 3-rod holder that fits in the crate as oppose to a 2 rod holder that you can commonly find.
You know i am thinking....I am not sure if a milk crate fits in the tarpon models? If I can recall my buddy had to get an elongated one from Target?

I bought something similar at Walmart. I think it is for files and they come in colors like yellow that match your kayak.

Check Jerry B's they have a few I believe...

[Skipjack]

Wow....seems like there would be a market for a product like that.

LOL

You got me thinking.

I could use a milk crate myself.

Thanks for the pointers, going to try that stripes. They do actually fit in the Tarpon, its got a huge storage space in the back, its the OK Drifters and such that have the narrow space. I didnt see any looking around in Roys, but I supposed I could ask them. Tyler, I saw those at stripes, but they looked a little too flimsy, werent sure if they would last, but maybe its worth it. 5moreminutes, CS, if nothing else I might take you up on the offers. I like the idea of a ceremony, kinda like a christening of the yak.

Office Depot, Office Max, Target, etc. sell storage crates of various sizes. Look in the home/office storage areas of the stores.

i just asked and got lucky

also i've found a few in the road on real windy days

[hotpocket]

Like I said before Jerry B's have some that have a rod rack attached. I don't know the cost. But it's perfect for what your looking for...

[Javelina Russ]

The ones at JerryB's rigged and ready to go are about $45, they're made bu a lady in Rockport so your buying locally!!!!
