Two cars sounds great but sometimes it just don't pay. Value of any new automobile with that many miles on it is going to hurt no matter what.
I say get a nice F150 for your needs and the engine witht he best fuel miliage. Your boat isn't heavy so even the smaller 4.6 would tow it easy and get better miliage then 5.4L
