The 8# holds our 20' pontoon with the bimini up in a fairly stiff wind. I think 22' would be the largest I'd use an 8# for, but not in heavy wind/chop.
As mentioned in my original response, Fortress gets very good reviews--between Mantus, Digger, box (the brand with the best history is Slide), and Fortress, you can't really go wrong.
Why I chose Mantus over Digger was no mechanics (the Digger has a ratcheting mechanism); why I chose Mantus over Fortress was that there were a fair amount of reviews that mentioned slower/less reliable setting and issues sliding/not resetting when swinging. With our bimini up, we can swing quite a bit.

Also does anyone have an opinion on the fortress anchors that Parafunalia sells? Those would fit better in the compartment.
I had a box anchor for my last boat. It was great for holding but a serious pain in the butt fold and unfold.
Thanks
