I have a 18x60 blazer boat. Was looking to buy 2 drift socks . That way I could throw 1 out for avg days and both for windy days. Was looking on amazon.com they had 24" socks on sale. Was gonna buy 2 of them. Would that work?

get the biggest one's you can!!!
I have 2 56" and 2 77". 10 to 15mph winds the 56"s will get me to .3 to .5 and the 77"s will get me to dead still to .3
this is on a Ranger 354v.
If you buy the 24s you will have need for more, get at least 54s and 77s if you can find em.
Yeah I wasnt sure. Everywhere post different size charts. Amazon showed 1-42" sock to work for a 18ft boat. Half the time Im in a biddies boat and never paid attention to the size of the socks we used.
don't go by the charts--they are wrong :) Bigger is always better when it comes to drift socks
Don't waste your time on anything smaller than the 77's
I put 2 36 inch ones on a 18 foot boat. At 13mph (forecast) without speed was about 1.2 or 1.3. With the 2 socks I was at .5 or .6. Small ones help, but I'm sure bigger is better.
