Box anchor size?
 
Does anyone have any experience with the slide/box anchors? I was wondering if the small box anchor would work fine for my boat, it says for up to 30' boat but doesnt say anything about weight. I dont want to lug around a huge anchor if i dont have to.

The boat is an 01 sunsation 32 dominator 6500lbs dry.

I used the large for my 33' PowerPlay, it worked great, better safe than sorry, a dragging anchor is no fun.

get the large. They work great but you will need the larger one. It is not that big or heavy

got rid of the large and went smaller on my 35 cig... held awsome on muddy lake erie bottom

I have the large. I still drag on my lake. My lake is a B*tch to anchor. I throw a large fortress of the back as well. Alot of wind an I always get loose.

I use a small I also have 6' of chain attached which they say is not needed. Works perfect for my boat and has held when another 3 or 4 boats have tied up to me with them not thowing an anchor out.

I have one I have used on the last 3 boats 22- 38ft. Its the large and its fantastic. Set it and forget it. In my home lake, sand and clay you have to get on top of it to get it back up. Everyone I know with one loves them. if you dont I will take it for my stern!

Can anyone tell me the dimensions of the large when closed? I need to see if it will fit in my anchor box.

I have a large in my shop and will measure it.

Which type is better for a mud bottom: box or fortress? Thanks.

IMHO th Box. I have the small that I use on my 30 cat, and its never failed to set on first throw and always holds. usually comes up covered in mud when I pull it in.

I would also agree, go with the large. There isn't a whole lot of difference in weight between the two. So far our large has been great with a 36 Outlaw.

I have the large for my Top Gun. Holds many boats rafted up with me. Great holding power. fits in the supplied bag in my back seat.
