what you doing, fishing from it ? its a small boat. if you want too anchor and fish, those little fold up anchors are ok to a point.
I use a lead weight, made by a guy of FB, they are superb. I use them on big ressies in the winter esox fishing. There really good but likely over kill for a 245.

Sand anchor bags, I assume being advised you need two you are going to be fishing from it and need to stabilize the boat, or just fill two old 5 litre paint cans with concrete and cast a bit of bent rebar into it to tie rope onto and lower in .

Not fishing from it, but I'm literally fishing tiny holes in weed on a 95 acre water, even all the bars are covered so Want to make sure I'm stable lowering rigs and checking the spots with aqua scope

then a collapsible anchor, a single one will be fine. go up wind of the area. drop you single anchor, let rope out on the wind. locate over your desired area and do the do. then pull yourself up to the anchor, remove it, off you go. you deffo don't need 2 anchors for that task.

IMHO
having owned a lot of boats including inflatables over the past 40 odd years
golden rule
Lakes mud weight
River or sea Anchor
Anchors are designed to be pulled in hence a tide or a river flow
edit
when I made concrete mud weights I used a B&Q bucket half full make sure you tap all around the outside of the bucket to get rid of the air bubbles when its dry couple of days you can tip it out this makes a nice mud weight that wont sink in the mud and is easy to retrieve in weed beds etc

How come we're getting more boat threads in the tackle section since karlos made a whole new section dedicated to boats🤔
