Best Anchor?
I am looking for a new Anchor to use in the sandy soil around SWFL (Fort Myers Beach). Who makes the best one? What size would I need for a 382 Fastech?
What is everyones opinion on this type?

What size did you go with? The Large?

Owned an Alum Fortress w/ my 28' Pantera & it was too light.
Have a Box Anchor now (size small) & it holds my 32 Spectre no problem as well as another boat or two when rafting.
I keep it & the line in a duffle bag which makes it easy to walk up to the bow w/o worying about dropping it or scratching anything.
The box anchor requires far less scope than the others too.

Fortress FX-16 for your 382. Same anchor I use, it's awesome - it holds like nothing else.
