So, always the pragmatist, I bought an 8# and 2# to try as bow and stern anchors and will be giving them the run-through this week while I'm on vacation and will post my results here. I've attached a pic of the two and will try to get one with all three so people can see the difference as I believe most people reading this may have to make the same decision (17-24' boats).

What's 5 lbs between anchor friends?
Just say you like 'em with a "little meat on da bone"
I would keep the 13 myself...

That said, I have not tried my new Digger yet... Test will be monday.
I also bought some "Stealth" rod holders that mount on the pontoon rails...they look to be well made...pictures and review coming after Monday.
