Default Buoy Storage on a 37

Where do you guys stash your buoys and anchor to keep them out of the way but easily accessible?

Box Anchor under the back seat. Fenders in the gunwale storage. I also have two big honking fenders outboard of the engines.

I have 4 big honking buoys - the goal is to keep them out of the floor in the cabin. It seems that is where they always ended up in my beak. Do you have brackets mounted in your engine compartment Brian?

Box anchor isnt the Anchor of choice for the lakes I frequent.

If the anchor is under the seat and the fenders are in the gunwale - where are the subs mounted?

I can fit three good sized buoys in the starboard gunwale storage and have a aluminum danforth anchor that i cut down the two shafts a bit shorter so i can lay it down flat under the seat. Subs and tools all fit in there pretty good as well. Would like to see if anybody has made any billet brackets for inside the engine bay to store bouys.

Around here we use buoys for navigating and fenders for docking. Leave those buoys chained to the bottom where they belong!

Two Fortress anchors under the seat ( not in the anchor locker), fenders with CP dual eye quick release pins, one in each side pocket, two more on quick release pins in engine bay hung up by QDs, and two more with fixed length lines to hang from forward mid cleats also in engine compartment. All with Taylor skirts that get changed each year. No F'r is ever gonna put their crappy, stone imbedded, wheel chock of a fender against my boat. Too many scuffs from people that treat their fenders like crap have polished my boats for me.
