Folks,
I'm close to dropping some $ on a new PA14 and am trying to work out what mounting system I will be using for most stuff. The PA comes with the H-Rail but I see also that geartrac is popular with some owners.
While I could of course go ahead without the geartrac and add it later if I feel it's useful it seems to me that I'd then be doubling up on some mounts, as there'd be things I would move from the H-Rail to the geartrac and thus would have wasted the $ on the H-Rail mount for that item.
Hence I'd appreciate advice as to whether I should also consider adding the geartrac from the start (and if so what you folks generally end up using the geartrac for holding) or if the H-Rail is sufficient for most purposes.

Just use the H-rail easier to move if needed.

Re: Geartrac vs H-Rail
+1 for h rail. Its a good system. Leaves no holes if you change yaks one day either
Live long, fish hard and hopefully catch something.
