John, I had the factory 25’ of chain and 220’ of line setup. I recently swapped out the 25’ of chain for 138’ of chain. Mostly because my trawler buddies that anchor all the time (and who I anchor with a bunch) made me do it (ha!). So far I haven’t been in deep enough water to have to put out any of the line. Biggest difference I see is that the tide change swing takes much longer now and in mild/moderate conditions you don’t even feel like you are anchored. I tie off the chain to the boat with a 30’ line as a snubber.
No noticeable change in cruising performance with the extra weight on the bow.
