Spillar Hitches in Austin will do the job with Rhino Liner. I would recommend sanding the gelcoat to rough up the area to be coated, but I don't think it's a requirement. I have taken my pickup trucks to them as soon as I bought them new, and they put 1/2" thick coatings in the beds of them over brand new paint before I got them home. I have never had the liner peel on any pickup bed they did yet, and there have been 6 or 7 of them done so far.

I would use the new anchor locker for a while. If the clanking of the chain on the anchor rode became a nuisance for fishing, I would certainly not be averse to a Rhino liner. I may get one in the Outrage 18 after thinking about this idea, thanks jvz :)
