Anchor Size

[smilinmatt]

I've got a 14# plow with 12' of 3/8" chain on my 23' Sceptre. The plow doesn't hold well in soft sand (I had one instance where I couldn't hold in 15-20 knots in 40'), but otherwise does well. If you only need it for anchoring on the beach, the 9# should be fine. If you're ever in an emergency situation where you need to make sure the boat stays put, I'd want the 14# on there.
