Nice looking truck and boat! I wish I had a picture to show, but I don't have a boat to pull yet, maybe next year.

Nice. I had a 2007 nitro 482, same colors as yours. Loved that boat until I sold it, just did not use it enough.

Geez! Nice uh, boat? LOL

That thing is huge. How much does that setup weigh? I don't see a W/D hitch or anti-sway. No need? What's the tongue weight? Sorry for all the ?'s. I'm impressed.

Nice company you keep.

Here's a shot of the truck and boat as well as a pic of one portion of the lake (Flaming Gorge). The boat is a Rinker Captiva 246 with the 8.1L Volvo.

So far you have my vote for the best boat on here....my next one will be a dedicated fishing boat (to go along with the family runabout).

I know, it's not a Ford. But this is the best tow truck I have:



It's a 2011 Larson LX850. Just bought it in July. I actually sold the truck to get the boat!

Hope to have another real truck next summer.

Nice company you keep.
Boat & trailer is just north of 12,000 pounds. Have 15,000 pound draw bar and ball, not a clue on tongue weight, everything was setup at dealer. A breeze to tow and stop thanks to 12" stainless steel vented discs on all the trailer axles. Only negative is 8-9 mpg while towing, boat is a big parachute.

Thanks, my second Regulator, love the boat & the company. Just got rid of the family runabout, kids are all on their own and boat just sat in the barn, gave it to my nephew since my kids rather go fishing then ski/wake boarding.

No boat yet...but soon! My wife and I just closed the deal on the lake front property of our dreams. I guess there are some good things that come with getting old!

Sorry had to share (hijack) I am just so excited I can't click enough smileys.

She will be frozen soon.....
