An FX7 is a little small as a primary anchor for a 23 foot boat, but it will make a nice lunch hook. I'd move the 20 feet of chain to a bigger anchor (I can recommend a Bruce Claw style and Delta plow style of about 15 lbs, or a bigger Fortress) to use as the main and put 10 feet of chain on the FX7 for easier handling. You'll need two decent anchors if you ever go to popular sandbars.
The Navy anchor is good for scrap metal or for making interesting patterns as it drags on the lake bottom.
