Interesting that there are really two threads going here

1. What is origin of the name "Boatanchor"

2; What qualifies as a "Boatanchor"

For number one, a lot of research went into finding the origin
See results here URL:
http://ac6v.com/73.htm#ba

For number two. Qualifications -- lotsa opinions here -- many subjective
depending on the muscles of the beholder (;-)

Some proposed "Classic" -- I really feel the TS-520, TS-830, HRO models,
and several Collins do or will qualify as classic by virtue of obtaining a
standard of excellence, but a classic is not necessarily a boatanchor IMHO

But if you want to see a lot of real boatanchors see URL:

CL -- I doubt, therefore I might be !
