Re: Anchor Size
I have a 13# on my 18 with about 8 feet of chain. I anchor often in wrecks up to 100' deep.
Go ahead and get one size bigger, that what I do. It never hurts in bad conditions to have a little more anchor than you need. Ive never been in a situation where I said "man I wish my anchor was smaller" ;)

BGA, I use 8lb w/6ft of chain and enough line for the depth (depth usually 10-15 ft or less). If your up one one the local rivers or in a nice calm cove this will be more than enough in the sand or mud we usually find in this area. I frequently use this set up and have a SeaRay 260 Sundancer rafted to me with no problems (calm conditions of course).

We used a 14 pound fluke anchor, a 13 pound grapnel anchor, and a 16 pound claw anchor. Plus we have 25 feet of chain. 19 times out of 20 we anchored on the first try. And with an anchor ball it was no sweat bringing it back to the boat.
