I have a 1985 SUPER SPORT 13. I was hoping someone out there could help me out. First, what anchor will fit properly in the bow locker? Every one I find is just a bit too wide! Second, is there a fuel tank withlow profile that will fit under one of the bench seats? Anyone know of where these can be purchased? Thanks!

A small Danforth type should work well. If it's only slightly too wide; an inch or so can usually be taken off each end of the stock with no harm. Depending on the type bottom where you usually anchor a small grapnel or a mud anchor may work for you.

A small Danforth fits nicely in our 1987 Super Sport. But I think they changed to a larger bow locker in 1987.

Thanks guys, I think I'm gonna just trim the anchor. Any thoughts on the fuel tank?

Have a custom aluminum tank built, fit it under the front seat. I would raise the seat about an inch, by doing this the tank 48-inch x 5-inch x 12-inch will give you about 12 gallons, build it out of 0.125 aluminum. I did this for my son's 11-footer.

Take a look at Moeller topside fuel tank # 031615: made for Boston Whaler under seat use.

Just noticed discountmarinesupplies.com has a good deal on Moeller 31615 now for $201. I've bought from them before--excellent prices and customer service.
