Highfield… any regrets?

Looks like Admiral Navy, which appears to be out of stock.

So why do they say it won't work with a raised motor, if it will?
Not sure. I just saw this mentioned. I don’t think they said that in the past around the time I bought it a couple years ago. Probably one whiner with a big outboard who didn’t like the fit.
I use the supplied strap and go under the outboard….. fits perfect to me
 
Anchor?
I'm looking at several stainless-steel dinghy anchors for the new Highfield - Mantus, Bruce Claw, and Fortress or recommendations.
Most of our travels have us anchoring is in sand, coral, and grass beds.
I've had the cheapo retractable and mushroom but have found they are pretty much useless, so they are out.
Thoughts / experience?

It’s probably because it bunches up a little bit and sits slightly higher on the tubes when you have the motor raised. It would be very tight if the motor was down, I don’t think it will bother me though.

I can't say enough about this little guy. Saves weight, does no damage under the seat, really slick with a few feet of chain attached.

Have you ever had issues with wind pulling the clips off?
I have three bags of the clips and bungee fasteners coming from Sailrite.
Just wondering if the system is good for running or do I need a secondary something.

No Sir!
No issues at all with the cover!

Thanks for the inputs -
After looking into the designs I got this Mantus 2.5 pound anchor. Literally, fifteen seconds to put together.

Good god. That picture alone just put three holes in my life jackets under the seat :):)

That thing is sweet. Looks to me like your dink has enough ground tackle to survive a hurricane at this point.
No kidding on the sharp point; and it's sharp. I might knock it down to prevent some idiot (me) from poking a hole in the new dink.
 
Here’s the cover too. Just need to fit the ratchet straps. I ended up waiting til it’s in the water and I’m going to short haul it once I figure out where they need to go
