thats it on pics for now. I can tell you the holder is made locally here in portland by motion marine products. the anchor is a 30# and has the chain welded at the bottom and then the chain is zip tied at the top of anchor. Its called a breakaway columbia river anchor. IF it gets hung up to bad when u are pulling it the zip ties pull loose and at that point the pull is at the bottom of the anchor instead of the top. you always get your anchor back with this system. There is also a 2' buoy ball on a locking slider on the mainline. u throw your ball out when u are ready to pull. it slides down the rope as u pull with the boat. when the anchor releases it eventually gets pulled all the way up to the ball. the lock on the slider holds the anchor suspended at the ball untill you get all your rope in and retrieve it. This makes life much easier as we use 300ft of rope to anchor on deep hoes on the columbia river. check out this site for products!

Yep we sure were! That's what I was talking about but to keep water out it would need to come up to the front near the front navigation light....just past the front cleat in the pic:

Sweet looking mod you got there world but after my adventure on the shoals in 2 to3' seas I think mine will remain high. A freind of mine told me that boats are always a comprimise and you have to set yours up for how you use it. At any rate that is a sweet looking V you got there.

Is there anything under the hatch-cover for support?...does water puddle in the middle of it from rain, etc?...

Anchor balls are GREAT!!...my buddy uses his spring-cleat (midship, the one you show) and pulls away on an angle ... werx REEL gude ;) ...

macajoe i will get you some soon. its raining here again now. I hate the rain!!!! I need some warm sun, some palm trees, a ocean breeze and a cold one in one hand and my fishin rod in the other!!

reelin--- it does puddle without a bow of some type. its not really an issue for me as when iam out in the chop it seems to drain itself and i am opening and closing it anyways. to open i leave it attached to the step through and leave the bottom and right side unsnapped except for the bottom right corner. It just opens when I swing the glass and the bottom right corner unsnaps and it just lays over. when i close it i just snap the bottom right corner again. This boat fits in my garage so that is where I keep it when its not floatin.-
