I'm looking to get a new anchor for my 28' Powerquest. What do you recommend. Danforth? Plow? Actually I'm looking for everything for this boat, anchor and rope, mooring lines, fenders (not sure what diameter to get). I stepped up from a 21' boat and all the stuff is gonna be too small. Sorry if this a dumb thread, I'm still a newbie to bigger boats.

Alum Fortress. They are light and hold better than any other anchor that I have used.

I agree with Noise pollution. I use a fortress and would not use anything else. Even a smaller one will hold your boat and several others.

I'll third that and don't skimp on the amount of chain (rode?) you use. It'll help get a set quicker. If you don't use alot of chain make sure you have more line. 100"+challenger28 said:

Fortress are great for mud and sand but suck in hard bottom and deep water or high currents as they take too long to hit bottom. I have a box anchor in the garage I will sell if your interested.

I bought a Box Anchor when I got my Sutphen. It`s the best anchor I`ve owned. It sets easily and holds almost too good. I`ve had trouble retrieving it twice, but finally managed to get it up. It folds flat and has it`s own bag. A little pricey compared to other anchors, but I really like it.kjo43 said:

I bought a box anchor for my 32 dominator. They talked me into buying the bigger one and its heavy and bulky, should have just bought the smaller one. To do it over again I would have just stuck with the Danforth and saved my 170 bucks for more gas.
