    I have an extra FX-55. Lightly used.
    I have no idea what it is worth to sell.
    I purchased it used years ago and never used it.
    Most oxidation is from storage in my forward bow locker.

    So, I need a fair selling price first, Then I'll list it.

    Thank you for your support.

    New prices are thru the roof. A new shank by itself is $570 +.
    Not to many used models this size to compare to.

    $500 plus shipping.

    I will listen to honest offers and trades.

    I had one of those as a hurricane anchor on my sailboat: 16,000 lbs of holding power, great anchor..

    When We purchased our Bert, Just had a whimpey Danforth.
    We settled on a Bruce-claw styled main anchor.
    I started picking up the Fortress anchors for use as back-up. Easy to store in a locker.
    I collected a few.
    I had two FX-55 and two FX-85 in the forward locker. Never used them.
    My partner got one of the FX-85s for backup on his 72 Hatt.
    Just trying to stream line my inventory some more by moving one or both of the FX-55s.
    Thx

    I bought my fx55 4 years ago. It's still sitting on the boat shelf in the garage. Don't do a lot of anchoring in Great Lakes so often wonder why I bought it.
    Now the FL based boat is another story, but it's just a 23 Center console.
