Looking at these they claim a 10 lb will hold a 35-40' boat. Always had galv. flukes like the looks of these.Any recommendations?

Ayuh,.... With anchors, bottom composition, 'n anchor rode are more important than which anchor,....

Mud,sand............fluke. But this be an aluminum 10lb. A 10lb galvanized steel is advertised to hold half the size boat.

DIGGER boat anchors. Check em out @ Cabelas or the Digger web site. I have a "15" and it holds my 29 fountain in the winds and current of the Chesapeake and the cool thing is the way they release. I Guarantee that you will like them.

It probably will with enough chain and scope and not a lot of wind or current.

This is the best anchor on the market, not cheap but worth it, http://www.quickline.us/stainless-steel-anchors.aspx I have the smallest one and it holds my boat really well.

That 15# Digger looks nice and no chain needed. Don't want a real heavy anchor or a 500 dollar one.

I have a fortress anchor that has always worked well for me. I like the anchor the OP has posted, looks like a fortress but it is aluminum. I wonder if it is the design or the weight that makes the fortress a great anchor?? I would rather have the anchor the OP posted since it is light weight.

I have a Fortress as well... I like that it's very light and it holds well, but I did find last time out that it did not hold my 46" boat and 20 others in strong current. In fact, it wouldn't even hold my boat and 5 other boats in that strong current. It must be because I didn't have any chain on it.
