Ranger,
That's almost funny about the old Max guy not lik'in the fact that they tested at 3-1. Many tests go to quite a lot of trouble to test at 3-1 because (IMO) they know a lot of boaters anchor at 3-1. Why else would they go to all that trouble. And the testers probably think it may sorta separate the men from the boys (so to speak). Probably 1/3 of anchor tests test at 3-1 scope .. but that's just a guess.
Looks to me like the Max, set right w the flukes, rode and all else at the right angles it could out perform (holding power wise) just about anything. I've heard quite a number of times from people in the business that holding power is directly portional to fluke area. I'll be looking fwd to seeing the max in "regular" anchor tests.
