Yeah, my boat is lacking the separate anchor locker in the bow. The under bow seat might have been originally designed as a cooler. It is all encased in fibreglass and it has a drain tube at the bottom which runs towards the ski locker. But its the best anchor storage I have on there. The other 2 bow seats are open to carpet and right now are storing 2 older spare pfd's and extra locking lines.

Last time out water skiing, I climbed back onto the boat and left my ski vest on the swim platform to drain. After lifting the ladder and pulling in the ski rope, I took off. Leaving the vest on the platform. Not sure when it blew off, but I have not seen it since.
