Racerngr1- your 29' is a single, correct? Mine with twin smallblocks probably weighs a few more pounds.
I don't think I've ever run my 29' down to a 1/4 tank. I heard from other owners if you are down to a 1/4 and don't have a gas station in sight you might be paddling!

You are correct about it being a single (500 EFI). I don't truly know how much gas I had or have or have ever had as my fuel gauge has never worked since I've owned the boat.

A one Ton truck easily, safely and legally will tow a 47 fountain, and I personally would tow with modern 3/4 ton SRW.

I really like those new rams too. Were did you find the 30,000lb capacity on that? Best I found was around 16,000 on the ram.

Lol I agree also. Guess Ford is trying harder because my Tundra was the most american made truck the year I bought it.

A tundra is most certinaley not the most American made truck (ever)! It is made by a Japanese company and therefore helps Japan's GDP, not ours!

Oh boy....get ready...4bus is about to either 1) Start crying or 2) begin a tirade on how awesome Tundra's brakes, drivetrain, engine, and overall "American-ness" are....or hopefully 3) Start posting pics of Kanuck Skanks. :party-smiley-004:

It is truly amazing how globalized everything is now. When you look at the fact the F150 and the Toyota are both listed as 75% made in America.

I personally hope for pictures of Kanuck Skanks... :hijack:
