The center console has rod holders and a place to put a coffee mug or adult beverage. The Vibe Sea Ghost 130 has rulers etched into the storage lid that allows anglers to turn fish ‘stories’ into ‘legends.’ A ruler that measures 20 inches is along one side of the console, and another that measures 50 centimeters is on the other side. There is enough space on the back to provide for a wider tank. Something the size of some backpacks or milk crate may not fit. However, the tank well on the back bothers some reviewers. The storage space is perfect for those who need gear or anything else for a long weekend. An adjustable bungee and large rear tank provide more storage. It is ideal for placing a pole when needed to reel in and fish and safely and securely store it.
The console has a dry bag inner liner that can be removed. A hard plastic locking lid covers the front storage area instead of a rubber lid. They have storage bags that provide multiple options to keep items like a wallet, phone, and keys dry. Onboard are two other dry storage choices. It is among the largest consoles found on a Vibe kayak. In the center is a watertight sealed container.
The boxes can be kept secure and safe when not in use. They go well with tackle boxes like the Plano 3600. There are two bungee parks on both inner walls. Along with two built-in rod holders, four gear tracks are provided to attach other types of gear.
One reason the kayak is ideal for pro fishermen is the amount of onboard storage. The 2019 model has features that make the kayak an angler’s dream.
