Handles are easy to replace. Might want to rethink the bungee going around the gunwales. All the do is act as a great place for hooks to snag. Paddle it a few times before adding a rudder. They do track well and likely won’t need one. Save the anchor for lake fishing

I just picked up older model powler 15 took it out today Newport kids beach it does track pretty well. Like you was thinking about getting a rudder system check out EBay $55 for complete rudder system with foot control pedal and hardware but long shipping.

Solid rig. I have both pre and post 2017 13ft models. Lightweight, effortless to accelerate and maintain speed, tracks straight especially in the surf which is a huge plus. Mod Pod II is a cool center hatch upgrade. Plano 1612 box with added rocket launchers for behind the seat is almost a must have as well. I use a C-tug which I like because it breaks down and fits in the forward hatch. Wheeleez have better wheels for the sand though.
