I couldn't believe my luck today at a lions club auction. with about 600 people bidding and of all things that caught my eye and I said for "DUKW sake" A Danforth 75LB anchor to go on my dukw and I didn't have one. All for the pricely sum of.....................of......................... ..OF...........................wait for it!............................................... ...60.bucks.
Yes that's right $60. It's good to know what you're looking at and no one else does.

Colin.
