Yep, I've used my Danforth anchor on both my boats, 17 ft. and 14 ft. Works well. That 20 lb. "mushroom" anchor in photo was given me as a gift a year or so ago. Person that gave it to me thought it would be good for dropping off the boat stern to keep boat from swinging back and forth in a light wind or the river current.
Well it did accomplish that, sort of. But dropping it in the river or on Willard in areas that had mud bottoms, it was almost impossible to pull up. It would fill with mud, and turned a 20 lb. anchor into a rope stretching 100 lb. plus ball of mud and water
.
Tried to use it by myself and almost couldn't get it back in the boat.
