Nice review! I have a 14ft raft with a fairly heavy DRE San Juan frame with metal casting decks. Do you think I can get away with the 25lb? I’ve been running a 30lb Hyde drift anchor.
I think you probably can. I've always run a 35#, even now with my new drift boat, but I like being able to stop in whatever current I want. If you've been happy with the 30# Hyde, you should be just find with the 25# as these anchors definitely grip better than any other anchor. Just remember, you may have to let out a few more feet of road to all the discs to bite. Happy drifting!
That was a tilting stealthcraft flat bed deck trailer with an anchor nest. It was pretty sweet. I just sold it and the raft to a buddy, but I kept the anchor ;)
lol from the website: "NO! The Tornado Anchor IS NOT ADJUSTABLE. The Locknut on the bottom of the anchor has a nylon locking feature which secures it to the eye bolt. This guarantees that the anchor will never loosen under any normal use conditions. If for whatever reason you choose to loosen the Locknut you will compromise the durability. Leave your Nuts alone!"

Thanks for the video , LOL I’m sure there’s a troll out there somewhere that’s gonna be upset about these anchors 🤷

I didn’t say you should but that you can ;). Where there is a will there’s a way. LOL!
You know you could just buy another lock nut at the hardware store if you were really that concerned about it loosening
