Stockless Anchors using that could be 1000 to 20,000 pounds, with a 5,000 to 10,000 pound weight being most common.

Thanks for the tips... next step is to go back and take some measurements... you know how things always look bigger U/W

Yes Fred... it is a stockless Navy style. It will probably be next week before we get back to measure it and get a good handle on how much it weighs.

10000 lbs of metal (steel, bronze, lead?) sitting in your front lawn, UP? Wow.

So what's the going rate on an anchor of that size?

Shane est. it at 500# and I figured 1000#

My bad.

How much does the UP's anchor weigh in comparison, Pug?

the grapple is about 20#... and we have a 25# CQR for an anchor.
