Boat Anchors
 

I have a 43 scarab thunder and am tired of lugging my anchor up to the bow to set it. Does any one know of a company that sells an in Bow anchor like the one used in the bow of a Fountain Express cruiser.

Thanks Rick G.

No idea on the cruiser style anchor. Have you tried a fortress anchor? Pretty light, much easier to lug, sets well.

Box
 

I use the Box anchor as well. Both Boats have em

Never used a better anchor.

Like Elite says- no chain, folds up for storage, sets on anything.

- Sets in river current, on rocks, in weeds, in sand, needs little to no scope - not sure why- but it just seems to work.

Ive had em all danforth styles, mushrooms, v's all of em blew chunks and take up ridiculous space need chains, flip around etc.

I read a comparison once I think with a little digging around you can find it.

Slide anchor is the way to go.

I sold my 42 tiger but still have my Fortress, Box and slide. All are great but each one is used for different situations.

Will make a deal on 1 or all 3 as a package.

Curious-
 

Curious- when you say box and slide do you mean you have a shore spike, and a box anchor or something else?

Which size box anchor/spike? & How much?

Which situation would you say the fortress is a better call than the box/slide anchor?

I did a houseboat trip last year and that thing had 4 fortress anchors and we spent tons of time everytime we moved the boat trying to get those things to set.

I fully agree! I own two of them. I believe they come in 3 different sizes depending on the size/weight of your boat. I would definitely look into Slide Anchor...I insure the company! :)

You could always throw the anchor in from the cockpit and then just lug the line to your front cleat...

:D :drink:

when you say go smaller what size would you recommend for a 38 donzi that weighs 9500lbs? according to the site i would need the large.
