I got an idea today from one of my Techs in service. I was checking out his street bike and he had a bag on the fuel tank and it was held on to the tank by magnets. I started thinking... we could glue magnets inside the hull and then we could put magnets on the underside of say a tackle bag or whatever.

What do you guys think?

actually i had done this already. check out it here http://www.bigwatersedge.com/bwevb/s...?t=6394&page=5
i had gotten these magnets from sears. they were used to hold up your tools but i just cut it in half and used the magnets strips and gooped it to the ledges on the hobie outback. then i used metal strips from the hardware store and duct taped them to the bottom of the plastic tackle boxes.
it worked great. done thru surf launches and yard sales and the tackle boxes remained in place. these are not the usually back magnets that you see on refrigerators but the earth magnets that you find in hard drives. they are real strong.
