'97 F150

I am in the process of buying 2 F150's for my company. I own a marina in southern florida and need to be able to haul small to meduim sized boats. I know that they both have the big V-8s and are automatics. Are these good trucks for this job? They would be hauling almost everyday. All I have ever owned have been GMC and I currently own 2. The Ford are strictly for work because of the prices I found them at. I don't know much about Ford trucks so any info would be helpful on these trucks.

James

P.S. I am also buying an F350 for heavy hauling.

i have a 98 f150 4x4 with the 4.6 and i had no problem pulling my 19' mastercraft. and the boat is pretty heavy for that type of inboard boat. so with the 5.4 you should have no problem.

Nice choice on the F150's, make sure to check out the doors really well to see if they are cracked.
