To keep it simple, I bought a crate at office depot that fits percect. I added three rod holdersto the back side and a holder for my gaff and hand pump on the inside of the crate. I keep my Battery Boxes inside the rear hatch. I only use the Front hatch for stowing rods when launching / landing. The Stealth 14 can be set up any way you want it. I just don't like to over load any Kayak. I carry a six pack cooler and when that is empty it's time to go home.
