I have to go with boat. My boat weighs 3300 lbs. My anchor 20 lbs. when deployed, the anchor puts enough drag to prevent the boat from moving in the current. If the anchor weighed as much as the boat, the displacement of water would make the area of the boat where the anchor resides when at the surface heavier than the water being displaced, causing it to sink.

Yes, the boat is much heavier than the anchor unless your in an ultra light inflatable boat.

the boat is definitely heavier.the boat is just less dense than the anchor so it floats and the anchor sinks.
