Box Anchor Group Buy
 

+++++SEE POST #15++++++

I've been talking to Ryan at slideanchor.com and have arranged a group buy for sometime in June for 10 days. He needs to have a min of 25 orders to do this. The deal is 15% off of his list price on the website and he pays for shipping. Visit www.slideanchor.com for more info on the product. If people are interested post it here so we can get a count and I can let him know and then he can start the group buy.

Thanks

Can a Box anchor secure a 10,000#, 35' boat in sand with 20+ knot winds and in 3'-5' tidal surf?

If so, I may be interested. They look neat and convenient, but I need convincing.

My Fortress has been tested in the above conditions and I didn't move a foot, so I'm hesitant to give that up. But if this box anchor really would work as required, than I'd get one.

I just got this email from Ryan at slide anchor today and the group buy is a GO. The group buy is from June 1st through June 10th and the discount will apply to other products on the website as well. You have to make sure to put in the coments when paying that you are part of the group and what site you are from to get the discount. Here is a copy of the email also:

"Shawn,

Put out the word. June 1 thru 10 it is. Just to clarify, I will give the discount for anything I sell on my site as long as they get it conjunction with either a box anchor, spike, or boarding platform. The only exception will be the boat fenders.

It is VERY VERY important that when anyone puts an order online they explain on the comments section that they are a part of the group buy.If they have any questions I can be reached at 928 855 1108

Im interested. Which size for a 33 Powerplay?

I use the large on my PowerPlay.

Do they have a website listing all the products??

sorry i live on a lake... were you chilin on your boat during those conditions? did the boat take on water?

Nick, Dave, et all:

I'll state that the Box Anchor is the SHIZNIT.
They can be found at:

I have the large on my 37' AT, and I have held at least 5 boats (for a period until others get anchors out) in current waters of the Potomac River and a few other places. I can't tell you how many times I see my friends Effing around with their Danforth/Fortress anchors, tugging and pulling, tugging and pulling, tugging and pulling trying to get them set.

With the box anchor, you throw it overboard, and that's it. The harder the boat(s) pull against it, the tighter it gets. If the currents flop, and you turn 180*, the anchor flips over and resets. I'll chuck mine overboard, and give it a tug just to make sure its taught, and then I'll let the current/wind pull the boat out the rest of the rhode.

The ONLY time my box anchor let me down was in a creek on the Potomac River when there was at least 4 feet thick of Hydrilla covering the entire bottom of the creek. You could not walk through or on this stuff, and the box anchor would not sink through it. Guess what, the danforths and fortresses were not working either. It was like trying to set an anchor into a sponge.

I don't trust a single anchor when 'sleeping on the hook', but that's because I had an anchor line snap on me during an afternoon of anchoring in front of a restaurant/hang out. If I plan on sleeping, I'll bring the Danforth, and set it after I set the Box Anchor. That's more for my piece of mine. The Box has never let go.

I'm down for a large stainless box anchor and a large sand spike with a stainless cleat. :D

Ya, we were partying at Eggmont Key. In FL, it can be calm as glass one minute, and 5 minutes later when a big T-storm rolls through, it can build to 3' or more in a matter of minutes in our shallow waters, and of course there is wind. Then as quickly as it came, it's gone and calm again. Just something you have to deal with here. And no, have never taken on any water.

Thanks man. Good info.

I have owned the small box anchor and shore spike for about 4 years, excellent products. I have had another four boats rafted up and still the box anchor held. They will take a bite more easily than a standard anchor, but are by no means foolproof.

The shore spike is great for when you want to anchor just off a beach and not swing around with the wind and current. You set the box anchor in the deeper water and back close to the beach and then set the spike in dry ground.

Amen Brudda...I'm done with that sh!t :)

What size boat are you using the small box anchor with?? Id love to try and get away with a small on a 33 Powerplay.

we have used the small on a 33 outlaw and it held 3 boats. it was not calm at the time...

oh, we did use a rear anchor as well.

It's a Stryker Equalizer, 29'2" from stem to stern. I wouldn't recommend a small for overnighting, but, depending on the bottom, they will hold way more than a similar rated Danforth.

I have a box anchor and a sand spike from these guys - Great products!!

What are you going to tie up??? :drink:

I've got a few ideas. :D :D :D

group purchase
 

I spoke with Tammie at slide anchor today (5-301-07). I placed my order. Tammie told me that the group purchase is now in effect and she has six (6) orders so far. Our orders will not be processed and shipped until our group reaches our minimum of 25 orders. So folks, call in your orders.....the sooner we get to 25 orders, the sooner we receive our products!!

I'll be placing mine, but hoped it would ship out.

Placed my order online, with a note about the group shipment in their comments.

I ordered a small box anchor yesterday. We should have around 10 orders so far.

X-

I'll take one of the large stainless if the price is right. What is the discount being offered?

I don't remember reading the "no product ships until there's 25 orders" anywhere. What's up with that?

Uh... I hope we don't have a problem with online shipments and the discount. I inserted the comment about our group shipment, but.....
I just received an email confirmation showing a charge to my credit card, but at FULL PRICE.
What's up with that and is this going to be an issue?:(
Due

I'm in on a small one, will place my order this afternoon. From what I've heard this is the anchor to end all anchors, easy storage too...

My cousin wants one too, especially after last weekend, so I'll be putting in an order for two tomorrow.
