'still fit'......Looks like all I need is some water, a little warmer weather---& my dang dive flag-- noticed I forgot it after taking the pic & 'disassembling'...
You could take off the rear bungee and put on some web straps with fastex buckles that would probably work better for holding a tank and BC in the tank well. Most kayak shops should sell them.

Peter, thanks for the help--are you talking about these straps, like pictured on this Big Yak??....It's the only model I could find with no bungees--they(Ocean Kayak) are calling them 'gear straps'.......thanks again....
The only issue might be if they need to be pop riveted down. Often you can use the existing mounts for the bungee cords. I happen to have a pop rivet gun myself, but you can have someone at a kayak shop put them on for you if it requires a pop rivet gun. Of course if they charge a lot of money you could just buy the pop rivet gun. You will need marine quality pop rivets though.

Know what you mean-I added the 2 hand straps year before last when I got it & used pop rivets to secure...Will ask what it will take/need for securing the straps.....
