As I gather ideas for adding to a new Camo Outback here's my list so far:

Lowrance Hook 5
H Crate plus trays and rod holders (I bass fish a lot)
I already have a live-well with rod holders
Insulated hatch insert
I have tube trolling rod holders but need to figure that out.
Rectangle hatch with tray box.
I have wheels.

Just looking for ideas.

You've got it covered I think. Love the H-Crate, might skip the trays, there's not a lot of room in the Outback. I gave mine to my son for his PA. To make better use of the molded in rod holders, I put PVC extensions in them(forgot the size), wrapped a little duct tape around them so they fit snugly. That mod works great with todays longer handle rods and makes them more secure. Perhaps that will work for trolling rod holders. I'm not a big fan of rodholders sticking everywhere, I like to keep stuff to a minimum.

Adding my two cents to this subject. I would skip the H-rail tackle bins. I purchased two and found they were not necessary (I also primarily fish fresh water). I added the 8 inch gear tracs but believe the 4 inch would have been better on my Outback. I only ever mount a Lowrance on the right side trac and a Ram rod holder on the left side trac (the rod holder tilts horizontally to avoid low hanging branches). I'm a big believer in the Ram ball mounts. I also placed a ram ball in the sail holder for a GoPro. Agreement on the square hatch. I wish you the best. :)
