I'm still working things out, it's fine when I'm fishing solo. My other problem is tackle boxes, I tend to carry to much gear. Today I took a bigger box and it was horrible in the way.

Yeah, I don't have a great solution for that either. I have been thinking about maybe securing down a sweater box type of container inside the hull under the large rectangular hatch to hold such things. I use a crate when solo. I have a waist pack that holds a few 3700-sized trays that I clip to the front seat. It works well, but I have my doubts that it will stay put it I roll over. I'm actually starting to rather enjoy the legroom I get when using this kayak solo.
