calling 2017 21' owners...can you fit a box anchor?

[eticket]

Hey lucky 2017 21' owners...I am seriously considering trading in my 2015 for a 2017. The new anchor locker is very different from the prior configuration and it does not look like you can fit a small box anchor in there. I've tried 3 different fluke anchors before getting my box anchor and I don't want to go back to dragging my anchor all over the lake. Does anyone with a 2017 21' boat have a box anchor and can confirm that it will fit?

Thanks,
eticket

I don't have a box anchor, but I can do some measurements for you if you like on my '17 212x?

@Blenderhead, thanks very much for the offer. I would appreciate if you could take measurements of the opening. I think there is plenty of depth, just not sure if I can get it in due to the more narrow "slot".

@eticket - the length from left to right is 19 3/4". The width at its narrowest point is 3 1/4 (left and right side) and at its widest point (center) is 5 1/4. All measurements are approximate.

Thanks @Blenderhead !

I just use the basic anchor that the locker was made for. Actually anchored today and it worked just fine.
