[QUOTE="LDUBS, post: 485066, member: 21536"] I leave most all of my gear on the boat (18' walk-thru). The only exceptions I can think of are my fish finder and TM remote. My boat is always covered and is behind a locked side-yard gate. It isn't theft proof but I feel fairly good about it. Even so, all of my gear, except rods, fits easily in four cheapo backpacks ($3 or $4 each!) and one Plano tackle box. That includes stuff like sun screen, towels/rags, spare parts, etc. I could toss those in the boat pretty quickly and in fact that is what I used to do when I had a smaller more open boat. I liked that because I could toss the backpacks wherever I wanted to get them out of the way. I normally take four rods that are kept on the side rod racks -- two spinning set ups and two trolling rod set ups. My fishing these days is about 99.9% trolling for trout. I like the openness of your boat, but I can see how you might want to have some storage to secure the gear -- at least rod holders to keep them off the floor. Like most things there is a definite trade-off. It really comes down to how you use the boat, your fishing style, and what you will enjoy most. [/QUOTE]
