CQR/Plow Modifications

I saw this modification on a 50 footer in Mexico. The owner said it worked great.
Any comments on it?

Re: CQR/Plow Modifications

My complaint with the CQR was, it would just lay there on it's side, until it had drug far enough to start plowing anyway. So if you made the sides bigger it would have to help when the thing was in that "on it's side" mode. In the full upright plowing mode, who knows for sure. I've seen some of those anchor mods and they need to be done well to look right.

Re: CQR/Plow Modifications

I just modified my CQR yesterday. I removed it from the bow roller and put a nice new Mantus on in it's place.

More of a replacement than a modification, but hey, it's boat bling none the less.

Any chance you have a larger picture. I blew it up as much as the computer allows and can't see what you are trying to show us.

Re: CQR/Plow Modifications

Question: Is modifying a CQR akin to applying lipstick to a pig?

I don't think so. I think pigs like to eat lipstick.

The term gilded turd springs to mind.
