I ended up buying one length of 75 pound, 3/4" steel logging chain. Cut it down into 4 clip on sections. $40 bucks on ebay w/ free shipping!
35 pounds at 3,000 cfs will hold my 16ft flat bottom without issue.
I have used a chain anchor now. It has been used on two different boats with no problems. They are simple to make and materials are not an arm and a leg to purchase. Mine is 28 Lbs. It works on every river I have fished in Michigan a with my 16 ft. drift baoat and a a 15 ft. alumimum boat. Use 5/16-3/8 inch chain and a 1/4 inch rod bent in a 4" circle and welded closed after you thread the chain on it. the chain lengths are about 10-12 inches long.
Lead anchors at about 30 lbs start at about $50. Just Google Pyramid Anchors and you'll find plenty of suppliers.
