Damn. Sorry to hear that. I will make sure to put my anchor in the floor storage next year.My anchor came loose and punched a hole in the bow, so it's a really long way to tow a boat only to break it.
Damn, how much force is required to punch the anchor through tbe hull. Id love to see a picture of that.@Bill D reported above that his anchor came loose and punched a hole in his hull. Sucks.

Damnit man I'm sorry!!My anchor came loose and punched a hole in the bow, so it's a really long way to tow a boat only to break it.
Yeah, I have mine pretty darn secure BUT I'm considering adding some protection. We hit some pretty big wave every once in awhile on Lake Travis.Pool noodle mod possibly
Speaking of - I just looked at the current forecast for my trip (7/22 - 26) = 13mph winds with 60% of thunderstorms.I have a bungee cord around my anchor which keeps it secured very simple. I boat in the Gulf of Mexico with some pretty big rollers and have no issues at all. On a side note, I was talking to my wife last night about going on this trip next year. I will make sure that I don't tell her about people turning back due to storms, holes in hulls and broken Bimini's
Last year it happened to a boat with us while in Bimini I believe. They noticed it while at Honey Moon Harbor pot luck....they continued on as no other choice.....its probably posted last years trip.Man, that sucks. I'm thinking I read that happening to someone else a few years ago.
Plenty of days to change for the good.....or worse....wont know till that am!Speaking of - I just looked at the current forecast for my trip (7/22 - 26) = 13mph winds with 60% of thunderstorms.
Not looking so good.
Forecasts that far in advance are not very accurate. It will change, hopefully for the better.Speaking of - I just looked at the current forecast for my trip (7/22 - 26) = 13mph winds with 60% of thunderstorms.

They show thunderstorms everyday here in Florida in the summer. Most of the time yoy can dodge them and stay in nice weather.Speaking of - I just looked at the current forecast for my trip (7/22 - 26) = 13mph winds with 60% of thunderstorms.
