Most, thanks for the advise, I gave up on stowing an anchor, nothing of good size would fit, at least that would hold me. Still searching for a good holding one for the sand, not good results this last trip to lake powell, will keep you posted.
On a new topic, I really wish i had ordered/purchased the boat with the ski tower. Can you tell me where Monterey had this made, purhaps a part number and contact info too? Additionally, where should I have it installed, there are no local Monterey dealers by me in Huntington Beach, California. Please advise.
