22 lbs and about 30 lbs of mud and you need a winch to pull them up. Mine are 14lb and never come loose but can be heavy with mud in them.

Those look good. I built one for my boat that weighs 23 lbs and no one wants to pull it when we are in 40 fow. LOL. I think 16-17 lbs is a good weight to hold and not too heavy to pull.

Yeah. That's y I'm going lighter. The guy at the metal place told me the wrong weight per foot. I'll keep these since they are so heavy.

I'll be on eagle mountain for the next few weeks johnny. Gotta learn the lake quickly for the tourney coming up..

If you are using 3 in flat by 1/4 in thick then it should weigh 2.55 lbs per ft.

Yeah that's what I'm going with next time with 1/4x3 or 1/4x2.5. Wanna try to keep the weight around 15#. These are 1/2x2 and way to heavy. Lol.

Keep one for the upwind side of your boat and build a lighter anchor for the downwind side. Sell the other anchor. There are people looking for good anchors. That one will hold a good size boat. Just a %&$#@ to pull a bunch of times in a day.
