Throw on an anchor roller of your choice, install side nav lights. It will require custom fiberglass, gelcoat, and electrical work to look proper since you gotta redesign the front nose of the boat and add in areas for the side lights elsewhere. I'd budget around $1000 for this project to make it look like it was factory.

Taza, did you solve your problem? I have a Sundowner 255 same issue - I had a custom bow sprit & roller made up to suit in heavy gauge SS. I can post or PM pics if you're still stuck for a solution.
