17' River Wild sled, 6' bottom......I use 75' of anchor rope, most of the time in the Chehalis River, anchor weight is 55# and that has stopped my boat, even at a "high water, minus tide on out going water", BUT 55# of anchor is getting a "little much", so this year I tried a "43# weight" and it work good, except in high water, minus tides, if I had 100 feet of anchor rope probably would have been fine, but all that rope can be a "pain in the ass", tends to get wrapped up, or around things....

Rope size, I like 5/8" but many people use 1/2", 5/8" is just easier to pull.
