I bought a 300' spool of anchor line and use an anchor ball and ss hoop clip (@$40) to float the anchor up. It is so easy to pull in line if your anchor is floating...low tech but works well for my 190 Bay in the Gulf of Mexico. The Bay 190 has two large bow lockers but I too use a 5 gallon bucket when I take the rope and anchor out of the boat.

A windless would be great, I have seen some fitted on Bay 190's and 210's. Did you check out BoatersWorld, they had a good selection in last years book if recall.
