I wondered where you were from as I would have loved to have had that when I was in Florida. Would have been great in the keys!

Great looking truck. I have the same truck in Candy Red, but I think the black looks bad-****.
I don't find the FX4 ride to be too stiff at all, for the poster who was concerned about that.
For the OP, why are you going to level it if you tow that boat? I tow a 5,000# load (car + trailer) and have found the ride height is just right when the trailer is hooked up. You dont' want her dropping to low when you hook yours up.

Very nice boat. I have a friend that lives on lake Okeechobee and he has one. Its a killer party/ski boat. I don't think he has ever fished off of his though. I bought mine for the sole purpose of fishing as you can see in the photos. I do pull my kids on tubes and skis behind it with no issue at all. Im also kind of partial to salt water im lazy and since salt water is denser is easier for a fat lazy guy like me to float in ha ha ha.

I dont wash trucks it sits out side no garage here so theres no point in busting your but just to have it dirty over night. I will wash it after hunting season to get the swamp muck off of it and rinse the rear end after towing the boat since its all saltwater around here.

Dude, I'm all for the manly truck thing..but you're going to want to wash that. It's black, first of all, and I've found the quality of the paint on these things to be somewhat lacking. It'll look like dung after a while.
