If you don't have a chute, a five gallon bucket will work as a storm anchor, but I doubt many performance boats would have one handy. 
Here are some shots of a Coast Guard boat doing what I believe they call 'surf drills'.

Here's a question.
Lets say your out on the big water and you break down in 5-7ft seas. Is it a good Idea to throw anchor with a large amount of line, or better off floating till help comes?
How about if caught at sea in a Lightning storm? Someone told me to shut everything down, motors, electonics etc, and wait it out?
