Extra storage

Every time we go out in 4-6 people storage is never enough

2 glove compartments are too small (why don’t them make them longer???)

I thought to bungee under the benches 6 inches PVC pipes with caps (less than $50 cost)

Did anyone do it already? Any concerns?

Benches are long , therefore they could fit a lot of extra stuff ... and under the benches is out of the way

Thoughts???

I wish hobie would already jar benches with some storage underneath

These guys managed 300 miles and 4 days of "stuff". I think most was tied down on the front tramp.

We are often in 5 or 6 ... using front trampoline

I put some long bungees under the bench using holes of the bench cover

Anyone has a similar system? If so did you attach any type of bag?

Make a video of 6 people on board doing a tack...Must be a dance.

Anything under the leeward bench (wing) would take a beating from waves, I would stick with using waterproof bags and tie them to the tramp. That's what I do.

I made extra storage boxes I am willing to sell. Text me for pictures and a video of the quick removal to use them on days you want. 7173573820

The benches are made of extruded aluminum until 2017 anyway. So they can support stuff hung under them. If money is no object, you can have a custom bag made with zipper access to be hung from the benches, or if money is an object, you can just use some zipper luggage canvas bags tied under the benches. You probably have at least a foot, maybe 18" before they will drag in the water when heeled (even with 6 on board).
