Congrats on the new boat. I think I saw pics of it over at RiverRacerX. Nice ride!
Get the medium one. I think our boats are pretty similarly sized.
Thanks. I don't know about River Racer X, but here's one you've probably seen on another thread.

this is just out of paint, w/o rigging.My avatar is the dashboard.
Kachina 26's boat will be in the show, too, so I may be able to meet him there.
I'll check those anchors out at the show, maybe even save a few duckets.

I have the medium box anchor and it is awesome. I have anchored my boat on a rough day at Mojave with it and it held like a champ! The thing that I really like about the box anchor is that you do not need to have the required 10+ feet of chain. It makes it so simple to use. Just remove it from the bag, unfold it, and throw it. Simple.
I was confusing your 26' Kachina with someone that recently had one completed. Sorry about that....
Nice graphics!
West Marine in Torrance has them. Thats where where we bought ours....
You could see that pic? I'm blind.
that's good info re the box anchor at Mohave (been there during a full gale). A friend made my current one for a Lake Powell trip after we bought our fist "new" boat in 97. Like I said, it's so heavy, nothing will move the boat.
Not having a chain is going to save my paint, I can tell already.
Thanks for the info folks.

Not to mention too, that they usually offer a discount on them at the boat show! I've only got the medium and it is waaaaay more than needed for my 17' dinghy! But have had three other boats tied to it simultaneously as well, and it held like a champ! Like someone said also; it's great how "compact" and easy it is to use.
How much do they normally go for?

I got mine a couple of years ago for about $110 or so. More pricey than a std anchor but well worth the $ for the peace of mind knowing that if you leave for an hour or so, your boat will still be there when you get back.

Mine was 126 at West Marine in Havasu.

Mine was out when I slippid while docking and fell ass first on it. I think I woke up all of Black Meadow Landing yelling foul obsenities.
Those spikes don't play..........was bruised for a week,
