Drift Boat Anchor Setups?

[trevor_shiggs]

I recently purchased a drift boat and am trying to figure out what type of anchor system to put on it. I am pretty sure I want to go with a stern mount. Is it worth it to go with a floor system with the foot release? Should I just stick with the regular old setup.

This is the stern mount I was thinking

and using it with this.

or Get a side setup like this.

Has anyone used this setup?

Any of those systems will work great, I have the last one on my boat. Using the ez pull system is a must, makes pulling the anchor off bottom a piece of cake. You don't need to order the hyde one you can make the system yourself at a local hardware store.

Just like Bags said.. I ordered the ez pull from hyde and it is worth every penny.. You can make most of this stuff yourself but for some extra cash you can order it and bolt it on and go.. Just my 2 cents.

Thanks for the info.

How many feet of rope you guys use?

I know someone who might want that stuff.

My drift boat has a centerpull anchor rope which is nice because you aren't pulling on an angle when lifting the anchor. However I don't have an ez pull system and my 50 lb weight is a pita in a bit of current ,must get one of those myself.
