Review on Slide Anchor Offshore Anchoring Galvanized by Wayne Seba

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Stop looking for broken anchors and spend money, it's worth every penny.

Okay stop looking for anchors this is the one you will end up buying. Other expensive junk cargo anchors just waste your money and precious time on the lake. Yes, this is the most expensive anchor on Revain, but please learn from our mistakes. Anchor Lesson 101: You get what you pay for 100% of the time. You've just spent $30,000, $50,000, $70,000 on a new boat and spent some more to enjoy it. The only thing to describe this anchor is to tell you about our 25ft pontoon monster kite. It's a huge, wind-eating monster that lives to pull expensive anchors through party bay and give me boils. Sailing into the bay was STRESS, we couldn't install our old anchor and had to keep readjusting it. Before we bought our last rock anchor, we did our homework. We learned about the possibilities, heavy chain guides, the right design for the lakes in the area and the right weight for our boat. We decided to save $50 and bought Greenfield-Ricker 18#. Sure, it looks like a great anchor, but its design is very similar to all the other anchors that don't work very well. After trying to get it working for a few days, he just couldn't help but party in winds of over 8 km/h. The last straw was we spent another frustrating day drifting into other boats, my wife and I yelled at each other and my poor children cried, it was a bad day. In the evening we returned home and decided to spend the money on Box Anchor. As for the box anchor, the first thing you'll notice is that it looks less like an anchor and more like a medieval torture device. The design is quite different from all other traditional anchors. I guess this dam thing is amazing because it doesn't have the design flaws of other expensive weights. The first trip with Box Anchor went like this: we opened the anchor compartment, dropped the anchor, attached it to the bow and had fun like rock stars. Yes, it's just these ordinary people. This amazing anchor is as close to perfection as it gets. Stop searching, add it to your cart and enjoy your boat. By the way, our old Grenfield judge will soon be on Craigslist if you put your time and money into it. For your health!
