Default What size Box Anchor??

Baby $109.95 Personal watercraft
Small $129.95 Offshore / Sport 18' to 30', cabin cruiser to 24'
Large $159.95 Offshore / Sport to 40', cabin cruiser to 32'
Ex-Large $229.95 House boats, cruisers longer than 32'





I need to buy a new Box Anchor . I had a small one that worked extremely well with my 31' Bullet. I'm wondering if I should buy the large one or another small. Any experiences or input??

Just tie all your MT beer cans together and throw them over.

The Large one is extremely heavy. It holds in any conditions but a real pain to get in the boat after a long day on the water.

That's Nancys job, I'm wondering if the small one would hold the TG. It did a great job on the Bullet, but I let it go with the boat.

BajaBob...Have you used your boat this year??

Go for the large Craig. Its what I have, and it has never let me down.
Fact is, we never end up holding 'just' our boat at a raft-up. I have held as many as 7 boats off my large box anchor.

The large one holds my 38 Sonic with no problems but be careful when pulling it in. It will leave a nasty mark if you let it hit the side of your boat, shin or anything else.

Thanks for the replies.

I guess that I should have titled the thread...What is the biggest boat that anyone has used the medium Box Anchor with?
