My boat only weighs 15 lbs so not much weight
would be needed to keep it in place. As has been suggested here earlier,
some drag a 6' length of chain to slow down the drift and I should think
that would keep the pointy end where you want it. I wonder about the
noise of it on the rocks, seems like that would spook the fish way before
you get in range. Anybody tried this method of drift fishing?

Not with just a length of chain, but with a drogue. Very effective.
