The price is probably right for that windlass, but you are making life difficult for yourself. Its a proven fact that anchors get heavier as they age...I'd buy a used one with a chain gypsy. Look for an Ideal, they have that drum on the other side so if you feel the urge you can still handraulic it. Besides, the (rude name -we need a PC name!) drum works great as a pot hauler. The Ideals are easy to service and repair and I think the motor is the starter off a 56 Chev.
