Actually, you're frank opinions on this are valuable - post away.
Did you ever get the test results you took into a format that you can put on
your website?

I'm staying out of this so I don't get the newsgroup police excited. I'll
just let my customers do the talkin'. :-)

I've had an A-80 for quite a while on a 26' powerboat and think it's the
best anchor I've ever used. I've never heard of this bolt issue and
found out last year on a cruise up the Inside Passage to Alaska that it
likes to settle in a while before setting it, at least in that
shale/mud. It has pulled out only once, and that was in Florida this
March in quite a gale when the weeds kept it from getting down far
enough.

The best place to buy one is through Glenn Ashmore on this newsgroup. He
sells them lots cheaper than West/BoatUS.
