Hey guys,

I'm selling my small custom box anchor for my boat, as this one won't fit in my new boat. If you've been around a while, this is one of Mel's Custom Box Anchors for the 2007-2009 23 foot Yamaha Boats....which he isn't making any more. I've used this anchor for five years only in fresh water...these are great anchors are are truly set-and-forget anchors. I'm asking $75 plus shipping to whoever wants it. Although this will work for other boats, it is custom-made to fit this series of Yamaha Boats without any modification to the boats or anchor.

The Box Anchor benefit of a box anchor is it allows more control over the placement of your boat in any situation, regardless of the current and bottom condition. The box anchor is easier to handle as it requires NO chain and only a 2:1 scope - that's only twice the depth of the water and more than half the amount of line required for a traditional Danforth-style anchor.

The box anchor is designed to do all of the work for you: just idle up to your anchoring spot; toss the anchor overboard; let out the appropriate amount of line; the anchor will hit the bottom, roll to its side and set within about a foot with no need to power down. The box anchor design allows it to hold your boat at a 45-degree angle from the bottom, without snagging permanently on debris. Additionally, if the wind or tide changes, and your boat changes direction, the box anchor will flip over and reset in about a foot.

To retrieve the anchor, idle over the top of the anchor and lift. If the bottom is muddy or sandy, sometimes there may be mud on the flukes. It's easy to get the mud off by lowering out about 10' or line and idling in the water for about a minute; then retrieve and store.

Here's some pictures of the anchor I took the other day.

Again, I'm asking $75 + shipping. I live in Mountain View, CA (94043) and a couple of quick zip code checks on FedEx shows LA is about $24, whereas Miami and Chicago are about $55...thus why I didn't want to quote an incorrect shipping cost for anyone.

Thanks again @Matt Phillips for the great deal and easy transaction.

@Chillypilot , I will let you know first if I ever sell it but most likely it will be sold with the boat if I ever sell it. "Box anchor for life!"

Yes I move fast on things like this. I'm not craigslist faker like a lot of the guys I've been dealing with lately that seem to just want to hone their negotiation skills making offers sight unseen, not showing to complete the transaction, etc. When I see a deal I can't pass up I don't, the only negotiation is when and where, not how much. Works for me but (or should I say and) drives my wife crazy.
