With going to a heavier boat, I upgraded my anchor. Anyone have a need for a Fortress FX-7 (rated up to 27' boat)? I think I threw it a total of 4 times(Mostly use a box anchor) so its about as close to new as you can get. $50 and shipping takes it. I have the box for the new one, so I can disassemble and ship it pretty cheap I think.

I was going to make an offer, just so I can stop pulling up our 30lb mushroom anchor. How are these on rock bottom?

I've only used it in mud and sand to this point. Sorry, not much help here.

I'll take it if it's still available, I just purchased a Cobalt 272 this weekend and I want a second anchor for it.
Shipping will be to American Fork, Utah 84003.

Yeah, I still have the 232 but it's going up for sale in a couple weeks when I can get it cleaned up and photographed for a listing. The 272 kind of fell into our lap and we went with it for these reasons among others...
1) It's yacht rated, we often hit the max legal limit of people in the 232 with all of the family and friends that wanted to go out last year.
2) It has more room for all of those people.
3) It has a walk through rear entry, my parents are older and had a hard time climbing over the 232 rear bench to get in and out.
Here's a picture of it:

I used this same anchor on a 24ft Chaparral weighing around 5500LB. Held it with no issues in a mud bottom lake. I was amazed at the holding power.
