Holy crap that is a big boat...





With you truck lifted you also may want to look at getting some airbags to keep the sag down. That is gonna be a heavy ****.

 

this is the 1998 version of my boat, same basic thing tho.

 

ha, yeah i stayed there overnight (Campbell) on the 1st and again on the 6th going to and from Kansas City for Independence day. I have a cousin that is stationed there. It looks to be much better than southern AL!

 

If you can afford that boat, you can afford a 3/4 ton....i wouldn't even attempt to pull that with an F150, i would love to see you pull that outta the water.....LOL

 

yea its pretty nice down here, i love it ive lived within 50 miles of where im at now my whole life, wouldnt move for nuttin

 

it is not that i cannot afford to buy a bigger truck, it is that if i spend money on that i will not have that money to spend on fun stuff like the boat. i plan on getting another slip/lift for it when i figure out what lake i want to keep it at, and at that point i will be driving a 3/4 diesel around with no need for it until i move again. That is why i want to see if it possible before i go out and get a different truck.

 

You might be a little generous in thinking that you have 9,900lb towing capability stock.

Does your '04 FX4s have 3.55 gears stock?

Any chances of renting or borrowing a 250/350 to get the boat where you need to go?

 

pulling that boat with a f150 is just asking for trouble, i would have bought a ton dually to pull that....

 

you may be right, it may be 9300 or less according to that chart. i have the 3.73 gears, at least that is what the dealer told me when i bought it in 2005 used.

bummer
