    I am loking for a 100-150# Mushroom anchor to replace the ancient one I
    have been using  and which has lost about 50% of the original material.
    
     I need just the anchor, but would consider the rest of the ground
    tackle if the price is right.
    
     Anybody have one out there they don't need or know of a source in te
    providence/barrigton area?

    Dick,
    
    A number of folk in the area have been using railroad wheels. There
    is a Pizza joint on State Street in Bristol about a block up from
    the boat ramp. Check with him. He knows the leads. I think it is
    actually the Bristol Harbor Master who fabricates them. But
    protocall says to check at the Pizza jint first.

1446.2I'll check it outBIZNIS::CADMUSMon Feb 26 1990 11:4615
    
    
    Thanks, Don
    
     I'll be down that way in a few weeks and I'll check on that lead. 
    I haul my mooring over at Hog Isalnd every fall to check it and to make
    sure I can find it. Also saves a lot of wear and tear on the chain
    and since I use 30' of 1/2", that can get pretty expensive.
    
     I'll check with some freinds who live in Bristol, also- sounds like a
    better deal than the mushroom, which I've always felt were overpriced.

    OK, everybody, we're across a rather broad geographical area-
    
    Is $1-/pound a good price for a new mushroom?  What's the lowest?  The
    highest?  Observed quality?
