Boats... don't own one. If I did, I'd have a hard time getting one with a GM motor in it.

Guess that leaves me with old OMC's...

OMC is a bad word in the boating gurus dictionary... It means troubleThat's the word I've been told..


Since we are talking jumping and ships.

I have a 84 24ft bayliner trophy hardtop.It has the volvo 270 outdrive and the volvo 225horse engine.Basically its a 305 cheby roller motor.This roller engine is real handy for low 250-400rpm downrigin.
Its an older recreation/fishing boat but I keep it in good clean runnin condition.I even have it painted ocean teal green/aqua.
Got a lowrance gps/fishfinder,hummingbird,furuno FF,4 downriggers and porta potty,cuddy cabin.
Its real economical on fuel and the kids enjoy it.
What boats do you all have?

Your going to miss your superduty real bad. Chevy HD doesnt have the same feel as a superduty. Ive ridden in both. That being said when the new 6.4 comes out please feel free to trade back for a Ford, Buy that time you realized you made a mistake. JK Good Luck an I hope to see you in a new Ford after your Chevy experience.

what! most likely thats a cheby also they did not use many ford motors for very long. the 2.3 I 4, and the 2 small blocks . dropped fast due to purchase costs over the chevy. heck even volvo uses a cheby now their own motors where their I4's and their small smokers that run real nice if they don't drop the prechamber out of the head.

It was my second diesel also had 95 P/S.Loved it. Tired of diesel price & maintenance. Tired noise. DW does not like waiting to start & slow warm up. Do Not Like leather. With deal for 03&04 owners Only $2800 difference. Love V10 smoothness.
