Anchor Rope Storage in a 17' boat

I've got a 2008 Alumacraft Navigator 165. Up until now I've stored my collapsible fluke anchor in one of the front hatches along with 100'ft of 3/8" polyprop tied to 5ft of chain rode. I'm finally upgrading to enough line to hold anchor in typical Vermilion conditions of 30-35ft of water. I'm planning to get 250ft of 3/8" double braided nylon and a longer chain so that I can get a proper 7:1 ratio when needed.

My big question is regarding rope storage. I used to wrap my anchor rode around a plastic power cord winder - one of those that looks like the letter "H". I've read about people using 5 gallon buckets and perforated laundry bags for rode storage. A bucket won't work because it won't fit any of my storage hatches. The laundry bag may work if I can find one big enough. Does anyone have any unique suggestions for storing ample anchor rode in a 17' style of boat?
