h2o Carcass Registered: 10/31/02 Posts: 2449 Loc: Portland	...that is the question. Should I tie a knot at the end of the anchor rope in my driftboat?? If so, why? I am in the not to knot camp on this one. I've heard that is one of the most dangerous things you can do, I can't imagine how unstable the boat would become in fast water if the anchor hung up... _________________________ "Christmas is an American holiday." - micropterus101
