well Chadback, maybe I should read your link before responding! The "trug" idea is perfect at the latter part of the link - shallow soft rubber containers that can be folded and fit into the hull. Thanks for the reference!
Haha, no worries! Here's a couple of pics I took for better reference.
This is looking at the flexible bucket through the rear hatch. From where it is sitting in the pic, it will slide further towards the front of the boat just enough so that the shallow Hobie gear bucket can sit in the hatch opening.
Here is what the flexible bucket looks like out of the boat and cut down. I cut the sides down to make it about 4 inches high.
After the bucket is cut down, it fits almost perfectly, like it was made for the boat!
