Thanks Guys!

The unit cost is $3500 for the model 1800 with the 6HP oversized motor.

I found out that the guy that originally made these passed away, so the company was not functional for a 6 month or so time period as they sorted things out. I guess that happens when you are a sole proprietor.

As a comparison my Muir Cougar Windlass is $5600.

If I dont do this I'll end up going with an all chain rode and a larger conventional windlass to pull it. I'm looking at $7K and up for an ideal brand windlass.

I could do this either way. I like the ideal windlass as well. Great product. Very reliable.
