Pontoon Boat Anchor Recommendations

[hassihand]

So the GigBobs http://www.nrsweb.com/shop/product.asp?pfid=16400 have arrived and we ordered them with all the required rigging (anchor lock & rope bag), but I have no idea as to what type, weight, or where to buy a suitable anchor.

The boats are 8' and weigh in at 67lbs before any additional gear I'm 185lbs and will be using it on everything from ponds & lakes to relatively fast rivers (Upper Red Deer post-flood conditions before you all start in on me)

Advice & Tips welcome, as well as any retailers in the Calgary area that might carry something suitable.

The pyramid anchors are popular on streams like the Bow for pontoons but I find they also work extremely well for the soft bottom lakes we see here in Alberta. I use a 10lb pyramid on the back of my 'toon and a 5lb dumbbell weight on the front to stop sway. It's a great set-up, can't recommend it enough.

Cheers,
Doc

had pyramid anchor and basspro river anchor. Found that river anchor is way better pyramid anchor.

But you still use two anchors?
