Question A new boat owner has stupid questions

I am in the process of purchasing a 2000 Wellcraft Marinique 2400. Low hours, but needs a good cleaning a a few minor repairs.

I know where the anchor locker is (behind the mirror in the fore of the cabin), but how do I secure the rope in there to keep the anchor tight against the pulpit? The previous owner has the anchor tied to the rail with a bit of spare rope.

Also, how do I get out there to tie it off or let it down? The center of the window opens, but how am I supposed to step up there?

And is the top deck over the cabin sturdy enough for a 200lb man to walk on?

Thanks

Mike

maybe you could install a small cleat to tie the rope to?

I just purchased a 2000 Wellcraft Martinique 2600. There is a cleat at the end of the anchor line. Look at the Larson Carbio boats, they use the same design, also a good way to find spare parts.


I am 260lbs and stand up front. just dont take a good wave with it and it should be ok.
