Spring for the hobie livewell. Find one used or new, bypass switch and run hard wired straight to battery. You will defenatly notice a hang over the side pump style bait tank drag and it will slow you down. Especially if your trying to chase birds, you want to be as fast as possible with minimal effort. Just keep a small piece of 3/4 tubing to prime or clear the intake if you need to. They usually prime just fine but sometimes they might give you a hard time.

Run two batteries, sucks when one dies and you loose both. (FF and bait tank)

It's just silly all hobie kayaks don't come stock with turbo fins. That's an absolute must.

Rod holders are a personal preference but I believe Eveyone will agree buy scotty, whatever style suits you. And for the fish finder mounting, go with the ram mounts.
