Nice Job! I have a soft spot in my heart for the old Ford tractors. I like it when they are done like that. They look like big tonka toys.

VERY COOL!

We have a Ford Truck, Ford Excursion and a Ford 5000 Tractor, but the boat is powered by GM.

Nice to see someone doing it different. The last Ford I had in a boat was in a 1976 Taylor jetboat with a 460.

Thanks for the pictures.
