What about a 14 foot aluminum fishing boat in Lakes, with just mud , clay, sand , loamy type bottoms..., fishing in 15 to 20 ft water? What weight of a Danforth style anchor for 13 , 14 foot aluminum boats. Thanks to anyone who can provide the info for me!!!
I’d use a small danforth with 5-6’ of chain and 3-5xs the depth of anchor rode/line… the chain and scope are the keys to successfully anchoring with almost all anchors
Mushroom and flute River Anchors , suck in Lakes... The slightest breeze or lake current causes you to drift. Hopefully a " Sea Choice", or similar style will hold boat better.
The best Anchor (across the full range of bottom conditions) is a Viking Anchor. Topping the charts for the most independent and scientific test program via the SV Panope Channel. Marketing lies, Facts don't 😎🏆⚓
Thank you!,,,
This would be more helpful if we could actually see all the anchors being discussed. The Danforth and box anchors were shown, but no others.

Do you have 5’+ of chain and 3-5Xs the depth of water in line out?
@BoatBuyersSecretWeapon Only about 2 ft of heavy chain. I need to get things in proportion. Thanks for the Tip and Response.

I've not tested a Viking nor seen that channel, I'll have to check them out. Thanks for sharing
