Before I got my Stryker I had a 14 foot Lund. I had a anchor mount on the front. It worked well but it was a pain in the ass to get off the motor, step over the bench and set the anchor. I always thought that an anchor setup like they have in drift boats would be perfect so you could drop the anchor from the back of the boat. It wouldnt be that hard to do just a couple pulleys and a rope lock.

Although if your only fishing lakes or ponds its not a big deal to cut the motor and step over the seat to drop the anchor. In rivers however sometimes you dont have enough time to cut your motor crawl over the seats and drop the anchor.
