    Anchor Storage up front in my 1802

    I have owned a 96 1802 for a while now and one thing the really gets to me is that there is no anchor storage up front. Has anyone cut a hatch in up front on the flat sloped portion of the bow. That section sits right above the small storage area in the front of the cabin and it looks like I...
