Parts Desk Insights

The Super Hooker Model #8 fills the gap between the compact Model #4 and the mid-range Model #13, making it the right choice for boaters with vessels in the 1420 ft. range who need more holding capacity than the #4 provides but dont yet need the full weight of the #13. The 480 lb. holding strength is well-suited for day boats and weekend cruisers anchoring in protected bays, rivers, and lakes.
