cc,
Do you have a photobucket account?  Upload you pics to that, then copy and paste to here.

Check out my post on prolineowners.com (http://www.prolineowners.com/index.php/topic,486.0.html), and it can get you started.  Any questions, post, and we'll figure it out.

I grew up in Chicago.  -20 was the norm come Jan., Feb.  But I've been down here 28 years.  It's all what you are used to...

One thing I forgot to tell you is that you can paste more than one IMG code in a post - just press enter twice before pasting each so there is a space between each pic (looks and reads better).  Nice looking boat and fish

CC,
You figured it out!  Congrats, and a beauty boat!

Now I see your problem with the anchor locker hatch...it just needs to be bigger!  Now, if the flat is wide enough, I recommend the 13" X 30", as shown in this link.

I can get it for you for $70 shipped, if she'll fit.  If that's to big, I can also get a 13" X 24" for $65.

That bigger hatch will solve your problems.

I really like what Grady-White has done with the anchor on some of their newer models - make it part of the bow:

 

 

Someone did this with an Aquasport a while back - looks pretty cool!

GF,
We did the same at Wellcraft back in '99 with the 32/35 Scarab Sports...it's a feature that "comes and goes"...
When I see that, I just kinda say, "Oh, look, someone else is trying it..."

Let a gypsy jam in snotty conditions, open the hatch, get on your hands and knees, bend way over, try and free it up, all the time taking cold spray over the bow...I'll take the traditional mount!

Thanks Seabob4,
I will have to get in there in the spring and take some measurements. The boat is shrink wrapped now with about six inches of snow everywhere. I will let you know, thanks.
