Not really, in fact, some of the accessories aren't that great.
Rail mount tackle box.... Handy, but gets in the way if you hang it on the inside, I do use it though.
Rail mount rod holders.... The cord came off two of the three I purchased. The rods are hard to remove when the seats are in, they don't bend very well around the seat.
Rail mount FF mount... Nice, you can position it just about anywhere as long as the cord reaches.
Rail mount cup holders... Really, never use them.
Seat mount fighting cup... nice, especially for the large variety fish, give you some leverage without pinching your jewels.
Rail mount pads... These are great for mounting rod holders to, Scotty or Ram. The adjustability is very nice.
There is one item I highly recommend but is not from hobie.

They work very well (looks like the price went up a little since I bought them though).
As for the bait tank I made two, a 26 gallon for when I am solo and a 12 gallon when I have a guest. Both of these are made by Moeller, I used Hobie hardware to mount them like a hobie tank.
That about covers it...
