box anchor
we have been using the folding box anchor made by slide co. on our 23 foot bow rider I use two, one each for the bow and stern and they both perform great for what we do ,,which is hang in the sand.. I have thrown them out on different bottoms and although the anchor did work great, it filled up with mud and had to be shaken around a little in the water before hauling it in..i still keep a couple of my older fluke style anchors on the boat just in case I need them or to offer them to a neighbor at the sand bar to use if they only had one anchor and were drifting ... I have gotten angry in the past when another boat pulls right up next to us and only uses a bow anchor with the driver now napping and his boat swinging very very close to mine..i would rather stay happy and offer up something that would most likely be sitting in my shed anyways..so far when I lend an anchor out, I have always gotten it back.!!
