I currently have my 170 stripped down for paint. A friend stopped by my shop to check it out today and commented that a bow pulpit might be cool on the boat, and it really got me thinking. No more wrestling the anchor in and out of the little bow compartment, and it might give my new hull paint less chance of getting banged up if a rookie is pulling up the anchor. Any thoughts? Would love some feedback and to see a pic of a 170 with a bow pulpit
