Keith Webster is here from tornado anchors to describe how he made a unique and better anchor then what’s currently on the market.  We find out why a metal plate anchor works better than your typical pyramid style anchor for stopping your boat and for the environment.

This episode is part of the drift boat podcast season as we focus on one of the most important accessories for your boat.  I’ve been using the Tornado and can say that the anchor stops much quicker.
