Ocean Guy Nice way to thank a guy who took the time to answer your question. If you only wanted the weight, there was no need for you to mention the anchor system in your original post, either!

I was kind of thinking the same thing. Maybe the guy just has poor forum social skills and didn't mean to come across that way. ???

When I was a moderator on the Jayco camper forum, he would have gotten 1 warning, post deleted and next time he would have been banned.

For the extra money on a Talon you get wave absorption which compensates for waves moving your hull up and down. It appears that a Micro PP is fixed and leaving it susceptible to be broken easily. But I'm an ocean guy with a Nauset, What do I know? 1985 Outrage 18
