I've been looking to to upgrade from my PA 14 but see the same issue with the newer Outbacks.
This seems like an issue that I should've seen sooner, but I'm pretty surprised there's not that much chatter about it.
I know in some of the other boats there's a center hatch that you can stow rods in, but I can't get enough of an angle in my Outback hatch.
Outback being more narrow than the PA doesn't really have much space for a internal rack or anything close to that.
I hear you on the horizontal storage though, I thought about modding the other paddle holder on my Outback for some sort of rack, but your pretty much asking to brine your reels.
Guess I'll have to pick up some ice fishing rods?
