Hey Jack Congrats on the new boat. I have been paddeling quite a bit this year and am still looking forward to meeting up with you and Ohiotuber at some point. As far as an anchor system for the toon is concerned, mine came with a mesh bag that you fill with rocks and attach via a rope and small pulley to the back or side of the frame. It works pretty well and is very light when you empty the rocks out.

Happy paddling.
