Just ordered $450 worth of stuff from slideanchor.com
Curious to see how it all works. I ordered a small box anchor, a large shore spike, 150ft of 7/16 rope, and a bouy tender ball. I have been wanting one of these box anchors for some time and cant wait to try it out on the water next weekend. I have been wanting to order the boarding platform in the very last picture but am going to wait until winter. Anyone got any experience with these products?

Box anchor works great.
I have a 'small', but its not very small at all. Flat, in the bag with 100' of rope tucked in its about 2 foot by 8 inches. But it is a lot easer to use than a regular anchor.
I didn't pony up for the SS tho, I went with the galvanized.

I have all their stuff but the ladder and thats next.
Box- works great .
I have the "small" box anchor for a 28 footer and it works great as long as you give it the scope they recommend.
I've held three boats in a light current .
Mine plus a 22 footer in gusty winds in a cove on Lake Naci.
Sand spike- works great
(especially with quick cleats and a danik hook.)
Accessories like quick cleats and danik hook are simply great, and reduce drama substantially.
Your friends will "borrow" this stuff- so look out.

The anchor just flat out works. I miss the windlass off my last boat, but at least this thing isn't as heavy as that one was and still does the job.

I've spent many a day in a cove having fun while boats all around me are fussing with their dragging anchors. It's actually quite funny to watch, especially on the bigger boats where the lame husband is yelling at his wife as they try to set the anchor.

I am going to test the small box anchor to to see if it works well. If it does I will probably order another one or an extra small for the rear of the boat. If not I will buy the large for the front and throw the small off the back. Lowes sells a version of the danik hook that is ALOT cheaper. I been using it for about 2 years and never has broke. You can buy them in packages like tie downs. They come with a rope and one ratchet style hook on each end.
