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?

Awesome anchor...I use it on my 382. I store it in a bag that came with me Dewalt Drill/Flashlight/Saw bag. It fits perfectly with the rope when I store it.

I like the fortress with 5-10 feet of chain rode works well in any soft bottom

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.

I use the FX-11 set at 45 degrees with 6 foot of chain 100ft of line.Some times it will not hold on soft bottoms :( The anchor locker on the front of my Hustler was made for this anchor.

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