    Osco? Ever wonder what happened?

    agreed, copes and risers may need to change with a process, however the molds should be usable. my guess is they are selling off the older molds as the volume dropped. Osco does have 3 plants. could not find any information on them closing.

    anchors

    I prefer a true Danforth anchor vs these knock-offs myself. Then again I may be biased. for $10, may not be a bad anchor. I have a danforth at the bow and a similar anchor for the stern
