    Thanks PP, glad I didn’t spend a lot of money on a tow vehicle that was bought to tow an aluminum boat. Wife has 4 x 4 Ram for the heavy lifting or towing. Just looking for quality information on a simple question. Thanks again PP

    2017 F-150 3.5L NA w/355 rear end-report

    Hard to find info. I just bought a 2017 XLT crewcab with a 3.5L non-eco boost. It is rated to tow 5000#. I am towing my 2500# Triton Aluminum. It tows the Triton very nice in the city and on the highway. Enjoying the truck. Getting a consistent 14.5 mpg towing. It’s not easy finding real world...

    I was the boat ramp idiot

    I am finding more time to fish, but having to do it alone. I know the saying “2 minds are better than 1” came from a man towing, ramping and fishing alone. Last month I had Vacation set, but fishing alone and water was high at my lake of choice. Thus I needed to use a rope to launch the Boat...

    One that got away. Or this case, two that got away....

    As I have not had any equipment failure up to this point, seems I’m enjoying the smaller reels, while everyone else is over sized in their equipment! Yes I’m kidding, but. As long as I can deal with the limited capacity of line, m enjoying the braid lbs, which is typically used on baitcasters...

    On the water great idea. But ereplacementparts, whom I use for sienna reels. Does not have this part available any longer. Dang. Also these quality little reels have been replaced by Shimano with a lesser model.

    Flipping creator baits in Kissimmee grass on Lake Kissimmee, large bass blowing up large shinners! Two Bites left us fishless. Photo explains my first fish lost. I have flipped bass up to 8.7lbs with this reel combo. But not today. My second fish lost on 65 braid braking after a 10/15...

    Submersible Lights

    LEDs and always put them on my side guide posts. No more dunking them every time I launch. I also have a designated ground fron the frame of my truck to the frame of the trailer. Connect the two grounds with a plug.
