I used 1" square aluminum tubing for the cross bars and removed the factory bolts with the rubber feet. The cut tennis balls protect the kayak and make a snug fit within the sides of the kayak. This brought the seat up 6", which makes it easier to stand up to fish.
The next mods are going to be outriggers. This kayak isn't as stable as I'd like, while standing and fishing.
