So here's the thing: this thread was really just a result of me being (selectively) cheap. I've owned a (one-piece, galvanized) Mantus dinghy anchor and actually used it as a stern anchor for my 20' 'toon on a few occasions (until I replaced it with another 8', as WAM can be choppy). It works amazingly well for its size, and being able to break it down further is perfect for my jetski storage area.
I was mostly looking for even remotely comparable options at a lower cost, but, as mentioned above, it turned out to be fruitless.
~$160 shipped for the anchor itself, ~$185 for the kit.
You may be able to find a one-piece galvanized around for under $100—if I remember, I saw them on small shop sites for ~$60, but they've been discontinued for a while, so I'm not sure if they were "real."
If I remember correctly, you grabbed a Mantus as a result of the research I did a few years ago, yes?
