I'm always hesitant about drilling a hole in a boat in this condition but the benefit far outweighs in concern over the holes. I used 1/2" aluminum backing plates underneath for support, 2 - 3/8" s/s bolts w/locks & flats. The anchor bracket is right out of the Port Supply (West Marines commercial name)catalog. Its a beautiful piece, 316 s/s polished. I'll look up the part number for you guys this week and post it here. You make a lil more work for yourself because now you have to relocate the bow lights individually, really a simple wiring problem. I guess the next best thing would be a windlass but personally I don't think a 20-21 boat really needs one unless of coarse you want to impress your fishin buddies.....which sometimes is shear enjoyment anyway :) D
