I am taking delivery of new CW 28 in December and was thinking of upgrading the whimpy anchor set up which comes with boat. Boat comes with a Lewmar 16.5 lb claw and 50 ft of chain. I would like to upgrade to a Rockna 33lb hook and 100 ft of chain. It looks like the windlass can handle no problem as the deadweight is not that much more.

Any thoughts? Thanks.

I think the anchor choice is great, might need to get a bigger bail for the anchor roller. The chain thing I would wonder how the anchor locker will deal with an extra 50' of chain.
 
I put 100' of 5/16" and 100" of 8 plait braid. Plenty room to spare on a 27 tug.
