Default Just bought 340 Vyper, What anchors do you use??

What anchor/anchors do you guys use?? Been reading a lot about the Box and Fortress. Do you drop them off of the side or walk them up front? What kind of anchor do you use off of the back to keep it straight? All help is appreciated!

I use a box anchor...I drop it of the side and walk the line to the bow cleat..and reverse the steps when I want to pull up the anchor..

Never a good idea to walk on the bow with anchor in hand..a lot could go wrong..

Enjoy the new boat...Pics????

Tom, I didnt know you even needed an anchor on the chain. It is so shallow I thought you just put your drive down a little and hop out of the boat...LOL
