My anchor locker is my engine room. Box anchor folded up flat. I send a person up front WITHOUT the anchor. Drop the anchor from the cockpit and hand the rope to the person up on the bow. I wouldn't let something as small as an anchor locker reduce your options....

I boat by my self too its not always a big outing, So dropping an anchor off the side is NOT what i want to do...
Thanks for the thoughts but this is not an discusion of what i want in a boat. its a, "have I missed a brand or model that might fit my needs"
just looked at a fountain 42... wonder how heavy that boat is.

I have a Formula 382. No locker is not a problem at all. We anchor almost every weekend in Cape Cod/Buzzards bay wind. Often it is just my wife and me,so NO help! I have a few feet of rubber coated chain then the rope,drop it over the side,walk up the bow with the rope,and tie it off to the front bow cleat. I also keep a rubber shower mat with suction cups on the bottom to lay on the bow and rest the anchor on if need be. I went from a 312 Fastech with a useless locker to thie 382 without one. You won't miss it,trust me.

The anchor locker on a 42 Fountain is HUGE - it extends up into the beak (which is probably what Reggie had in mind all along with his much maligned beak...yeah right!). But be that as it may I keep an extra 8" dia. fender on a rope up in there, about 100' anchor line, and wipeoff rags for when my precious beak gets dirty pulling in the anchor. I drape the rags on the stored anchor when not in use to dry out.
