The larger the ship or boat and the more water it displaces, the more it can carry. Super tankers probably carry the most weight now. Barges also carry a lot of weight because there is no space taken up for engines and living space.

What is the appropriate weight anchor for a 22 foot boat?

The weight of an anchor is not as important as the type and design of the anchor used. Finding the appropriate anchor will also depend on the type of boat and the composition of the bottom of the body of water it is to be used in. In addition, lighter anchors are (obviously) easier for the boater to handle. Check with local boat shops or experienced boaters to find the right anchor.
