Shane's PA is very different in the hull as it doesn't have the tackle tray you have (earlier model)

Use the yak a bit more before you go to far in my opinion as everyone is different in how they like them setup, different fishing will require you to move things around so don't rush it try first.
Thanks for the advice and I will keep it in mind - not intending to rush, just kind of felt I already didn't like the tackle boxes there as the hatch is a nice easy to reach dry(ish) storage area that seems a bit wasted on tackle that could be put somewhere else. As I work on my layout I've been kind of enviously eyeing that spot as a nice place to stash odds and ends and wanted to find out if I'm the odd one out or not ;)

I actually use some fold up draw storage boxes from IKEA they have a zip on the diagonal so they fold into the hatch, great as the zips are nylon so don't corrode varying sizes in the pack so you can use the large and the half size.

That's a great idea!

(Now I just need to figure out how to visit an Ikea store without walking out with a half-ton of other stuff ... :oops: )

Visit an Ikea store without bringing SWMBO? Thanks, but I happen to like breathing ;)
