Hunter 170 Storage

[Don C.]

What's the best way to store the anchor, chain, lines, PFD's (wearable and throwable), horn, flares, VHF, and any other equiptment in the little storage space on the H170?

Stowage in a 170

We've got a parachute bag that we put everything but the anchor and ground tackle in. The military surplus stores may be able to help out. The anchor goes in a log carrier (heavy canvas, straps, protects the deck, makes it easy to both deploy and carry) that we got from Lands' End, I believe. We go out with four in the boat, handle the gear that way, and have room for a small cooler, crab nets, etc.

Thanks Tom, that's a help! Also, I am posting an article about the length of the outboard on the 170 (15" vs 20")..... would apprecaite your feedback. Don
