Anyone found a good anchor lift for this boat?

Does the wife count? You may need to provide more information. Is the rode rope, chain or a combination of both? Are you looking for electrical or manual? What is your budget? And the most important question is, do you really need one? For a boat your size the anchor will average around 25 lbs, add a 20' chain leader and in depths over 20' of water you will have to pull around 50 lbs. Now if you anchor in 100' of water you will need to pull those 50 lbs a lot longer than if you anchor in 20'. The point is analyze your anchoring needs to determine if a windlass is needed or not. Also consider your age and phisical condition. These windlasses can be expensive and installation is difficult in the confines of a small boat. Electrics will require heavy duty wiring, relays and switches and may require a dedicated battery which in turn will need a re-charge source.
