Do what you will, but you need a bigger truck.

I have to disagree, I think that truck is more than enough.



A 29' boat with a F-150?

Are you serious?

Eisboch




F-150 is a HALF TON pickup.....as in 1000 pounds!

Duhh.....(c;

5 mpg for 900 miles? Yecch! It's almost cheaper to scuttle the damned
boat when you're done with it and buy a new one when you get to the next
place you're going to fish! At $4/gallon that's $720 just to get it home!

"Hey, kid! Here's the keys and title to that nice CC over there. It's
yours. We can't afford to tow it home. Take us fishing when we come back
next year, ok?"


The 1/2 ton designation is meaningless.
