According to Ford.com, the F250 starts at $29,455 and the F350 starts at $30,555 but not sure what the starting configuration is. The F250 picture has a black grill and the F350 picture is chrome.

The Ford dealer told me that there is a $1,000.00 difference between the F-250 and the F-350. The $$$ don't make any difference, the only reason that I would consider buying the F-250 would be for the softer ride when no boat is attached. But it sounds like the F-350 would be a better deal with a boat that is pushing the max towing capacity of the rig even though they both have the same rating for towing there is a difference in how much tongue wieght either truck can handle.

I'd get the 350. When it comes to resale, you have a larger audience because of the increased GVWR. It is very appealing to the RV guys that haul 5th wheel campers and want to stay legal. I cannot see anyone saying no to a 350, but some will say no to a 250.

And a long bed F350 will ride better than a sb F250
if you have the cash put a good suspension on it and you will really improve the ride. i had the Fabtech 4.0 coilovers on my F350 and it rode great.
