Besides which i'm still a wanna be with little prospect for the next couple of years, and therefor not much to add. Having said that, i have purchased a toe beast for my existing runabout and(ok, everyone ready i'm going to use the F word...) i grabbed a new F150 with the 3.5 EB motor. Gotta tell ya 'F' is finally building some motors. This thing rips! and that's coming from a died in the wool Dodge guy who used to race a 440 Bee runing about 475 horse. Of course i have it 'chipped' but i don't use the all out max chip setting, it's just too much HP for kicking round town.

The beauty of it is in the torque, at about 2000 rpm it's all in so towing my little tub around is hardly noticable even around town. i'd say my 17 Reinell 140 IO probably weighs in around the same as a loaded Mac say close to 4ooolbs with some gas in the tank, and the F150 really does toe it effortlessly.

The other thing 'F' got right is their microsoft sync which sync's phone(and other) bluetooth, it works, and the voice commands are fairly accurate, i've only had to cus 'Doris" about a half dozen times now which i consider reasonable

And lastly, holy man there's alot of room in the back with the full 4 door truck! one could play a little B ball back there! great for trips with the kid, really convient for shopping and all sorts of errands. With the short box, realtive to a car it's still a bit of a land yacht, it's not too bad to park and zip in and out of traffic(dang old farmers round here lol).

So, not back, just found something i could post and otherwise always lurking a bit.

I'd like to say something about this forum however, i have alot of internet experience, jumping onboard at the outset and i have been to the end of the inet and back many times and been involved in a number of support boards for very worthy causes and none, i mean none! compares to this forum and group of people who share their boating experience here in all forms for the benefit of others, it's truley fabulous. end of comercial, your regular programming may now continue...

Cheers, Bill

I am sticking with my Dodge Ram 2500 with 97000 miles and 2 of the original tires. I don't know about all the other techno stuff but it does what I need it to do and more.
