The previous owner of our Outrage 19 lined the port anchor locker with the Dri-deck material and it seems to be an effective, easy solution for protecting the gelcoat. But our Outrage 19 has a fixed anchor roller/platform on the bow where the anchor is nested, at-the-ready. So it's just the 3-strand rode and a short length of chain that are in the locker itself (plus a spare "Commando" anchor kit, but that is in an enclosed protective bag.)

I really like the idea of the rhino liner or other coating, too. But the Dri-deck is probably the simplest to implement, and doesn't make a permanent change that a prospective purchaser might not appreciate if the boat is ever re-sold.
