Here are a couple of photos of the '47 COE I sold a few years ago to buy the '49 F4 I have now.

That exhaust system looks like
a good way to catch the hay field
on fire.

Thanks for the post

Thanks guys. Figured since Ross and Bobby got the middle and top of the state covered, I would throw out some of the bottom. I put a posi under the rear just for the purpose of ONLY the boat going into the water!

Good looking combination!
Yesterday was a good day to be on the lake. My wife and I took the kayaks to Cochiti lake yesterday and spent several peaceful hours on the water.


Here's me launching the ski last November down at Elephant Butte. (I made an extendable tongue on my trailer that gives me another 13' of length--I can launch without getting the truck wet at all)

Here's a picture that HillbillyBob sent to me so that I could help him post it. I figured it belonged in this thread since the old truck is getting used everyday....er...well, every night anyways.


This guy must have one very understanding wife. Either that or he lives alone....LOL

Bobby this is a room at the Wildwood Inn Tropical Dome and Theme Suites in KY. I've seen this picture before but their web site no longer lists the room with the truck.

Bob,
Ah, that makes more sense that its a theme room in a motel than being in someone's house.
