Incidentally, I am setting up the anchoring system for my second boat now...
In Response To: I have 150' of chain.. ()

It will be all chain too, but I think I will only go with 125' of chain on it. Freeboard at the bow on that boat is only 4' so 125' of chain will let me anchor in up to 25' of water at 4:1 scope. I did break down and buy an electric windlass for that boat and will set the anchor up to be self launching so I can anchor simply by flipping a switch.
