I'll be out of Hammond Marina, pics will be in a month or so, still have it in storage. I hope the box will work out on Lake Michigan, just bought a large ss one! Any input on what anchor you guys use would be appreciated.

You will need 2 anchors any time you are at the beach one front one back otherwise your boat is going to keep swinging all over the place. Did you get a slip at Hammond or will you be trailering? I launch there pretty much every summer weekend. Lookin forward to seein ya out there.

I get a slip there, been there with jet skis and another boat last 2 yrs. what other anchor should I use?

I have two Danforths and one Plow...the lake I'm on has a sand bar and some nice beaches but mostly gravel bottom...and drops off really quick. Anchor depends on bottom mostly...

If you get the large box anchor it will work, it's a VERY heavy b*tch and suggest as other, toss off back and work around to bow. Not sure how much mudd you have there, but it holds a lot on the pull up add nother 22lbs you will definitely get a workout.
