Re: What size Box Anchor??
 
I traded up to the 30+ size and have found it too heavy and cumbersome to use over the smaller yet very effective 18-30 size. The smaller one was perfect for tossing off the stern for anchorages in areas where there's no strong current, or as a supplement to another anchor in a raftup. Light and easy to handle. The larger like I said is just too cumbersome and therefore i don't use since I have a good bow anchor locker setup. I'm gonna trade it back down in size.

A buddy of mine has the small box anchor, he holds three or four of us tied up with no problems. I've been thinking about getting one myself, I have a huge fortress with 15' of chain and it's a real pain in the ass.......
Btw his boat is a 26 and he holds three or four 26 to 32 boats with no problem.
should hold your TG by itself or maybe another boat or two easily.

That's what I was thinking. The one that I had held the Bullet just fine and there was always someone else tied up as well. I just wasn't sure how much larger the large was. I'm going to go with the small one.

:drink: :drink: Have a good weekend!!

I use the medium one for my 35 Cafe. It has worked ok in some pretty good wind and current. I didnt want to lug the bigger one around for no reason.

i have a Sand Spike for the beach, when the tides comes and goes its great for realing the boat in and out, easy tie off of slack at the spike. anchor goes off the transom.

It depends on how much you have drank, late night any size box will do, right stecz20. I wouls say about 5'8 130lbs, a nice 60 40 weight dist. :eek:

The medium has worked fine for my 25, 30, and I tried it with my 36 Nor-Tech and it seemed to hold fine. I don't think I would want one any bigger because of the scratch potential.
