Posting a few photos of the Excel showing some of the design and construction details. Overall, I'm impressed with the build quality. It's a rather complex design which has been well executed. The Bissalloy shank is visually very distinct from the rest of the anchor. Mike

Excel #6 galvanized on the way. Highly recommend contacting Rex directly if you are interested. Mike

New member to the forum and to trawlers. Recently purchased the 1999 PT37 named Carolina based out of Elizabeth City, NC (originally Blue Goose). We brought her up from Chesapeake, VA last week to the Annapolis area. As transitioning sailors, I must say we really enjoyed the projection offered...
