Less Expensive Rod Holders and Cooler?

[MichaelHyatt]

I just bought two 2018 GTX-300s. I originally wanted new Fishing Pro models, but, after waiting nine months for delivery from my dealer, I gave up.

I want to add the appropriate accessories for fishing, including rod holders and a cooler. However, the Sea-doo branded ones, namely, the LinQ 13.5 US Gal (51L) Cooler, are so expensive. Is there a third-party or after-market alternative that fits in the LinQ system?

I was looking at the same, as I’m undecided between a fishpro or turning an rxtx into a fish pro. Kps makes a rack that holds a cooler and 7 gallons of fuel, plus has rod holders. Would probably be the same cost once you add in a cooler, but seems more sturdy that the seadoo combo cooler and you get the fuel tank mounts. I can get a fishpro next month, but only fish probably 25% and cruise the icw the other 75%. So having trouble deciding. Not sure I want to throw another $2500 into the rxtx though for the gps/fish finder, deck extension, larger fuel tank, and the cooler setup.

Do you own a 2018 or newer Sea Doo with the LinQ ski pylon attachment? I have contacted BRP inc. (Sea Doo) management and board members to approve an additional accessory and investment of adding a seat post and swivel seat to the ski pylon. Would you like to have this accessory and option of the ski pylon as a seat pedestal and swivel seat?

Also does anyone have the 2022 Sea Doo Fish Pro Trophy with the new swivel seat? Sea Doo must have understood that without a swivel seat, with the wave or current action spinning the ski around it could make it hard to cast for fish.

Great to have a swivel seat accessary even if not just for fishing and seems clear that they spent much time on R&D and money on remanufacturing the body shell and seat for the pedestal attachment points.

I haven’t been able to inspect the new Trophy swivel seat, so would be interested to get owners opinions, it looks like there is a key type attachment insert of the pedestal to the body shell of the ski, and a round fit of the pedestal to the seat. I have a question if these types of attachments might have some looseness or play in them? If there is not solid attachments to the pedestal and seat the motion of the water can make this looseness or play even more irritating or annoying? What do you think? Would you like to have the option of an accessory that uses the ski pylon as a swiveling seat pedestal on this Fish Pro Trophy so that 2 people could use this at the same time?
