I was going to use on a 6500 lb boat. From what I read, it looks like the small should be plenty big enough. I would like $100 for it including shipping. I think I have $135 in it.
Here is info from their web site. www.slideanchor.com
SMALL - Offshore / sport 18 to 30 feet Cabin Cruiser to 24 feet.
LARGE - Offshore / sport to 40 feet Cabin Cruiser to 32 feet
X-LG - House boats Cruisers longer than 32 feet

I have a box anchor, not sure of size, maybe the medium. It weighs 37 pounds I think. Awesome holding on my 4000# boat. I used it for 2 years and it never broke loose once. Mostly used in sand, but used it a few times in lake (mud bottom). I bought a Fortress this year only because weight of box was somewhat of a hassle to deal with. The Fortress has been great so far, no complaints..I am thinking about selling the box, not because of its performance, because of weight versus Fortress is better to deal with. I think my box was about $145 by the time I paid shipping? I had very good luck with the box, drop it and forget it. No chain on the box is nice. Only time it was hard to clean off for me was when used in mud bottom.

Has anyone seen or have tried a Hydro Bubble Anchor?
I saw one recently at a boat show and it looked like it was very trick, well made, easy to use and worked well in the demonstrations.
