Danforth and Fortress are both brands that employ the same basic anchor design concept (fluke)

Most people consider the steel welded Danforth to be superior to the lighter weight aluminum Fortress that is bolted together.

Both have pros and cons, and since most people on the lake are not anchoring overnight or for extended periods, it's probably a draw.

I carry 3 Danforth's. A small lunch hook, and two larger main anchors. This is overall for my 24' cuddy, but they have more value on the boat than in the garage.
