I have been using the same 15 pound Danforth for fifty years. I used
to bury it in the mud with a 110 hp engine, which couldn't drag it. [A
Turbocraft, if it matters. First of the jet boats, dating from 58. SN
10] Also used it with a 12 foot duckboat with a 5 hp motor. So why
would anyone in their right mind want the box?

becuase they buy marketing crap & have an extra $150 to throw away.
