got one on ebay for less than $1000 new (tournament prize). bought a bracket that mounts to my slidemaster jackplate from powerpole online, so i wont have to drill into transome. doesnt look that complicated to install. i fish mostly shallow water down here in louisiana, and have no plans on changing boats anytime soon, so i think it will be a good investment in the longrun. just have to put up with the wife (and fishing buddies) teasing me about MY THOUSAND DOLLAR ANCHOR ill post a photo when complete.
