Looked at it this past weekend and it had "Jay's Marine" on the back. Bill picked it up last night in the snow. Hope to get pictures this weekend.

Congrats on your new truck Craig.
Thanks Bill.
Yep Jay got smart and moved up to a Chevy!! :evilb: :evilb:

Just curious (since you've had both), which truck did you like better and why?

I've got an '04 and an '02 and love 'em. The '02 is decidedly more fun as it's got all the goodies, both cosmetic and mechanical. Edge Juice/Attitude is the only way to go on these trucks. :D

That generator, as I found out later, scales out around 16,500 lbs. Now I'm feeling pretty good about the Top Gun or Cafe Racer plan as it pulled like it wasn't there. :cool:

Craig, since Bill is too busy at work to answer, I will. We like the Ford better. That is not to say that the GMC is not a great truck (cause it is) but it drives more like a car than a truck. The Ford is a truck and drives like one. To tell you the truth, what bothered me the most was a conversation Bill had with someone at the Cambridge races last September. They said, "Your pull what boat with that truck??!! Just make sure the hitch doesn't pull away from the frame."

So, the idea of our 47' beast getting tossed on the road, did sit too well with either of us. Anyway, Bill has always liked the Fords better and the '97 F350 pulled everything he ever needed (including the Fountain...to the ramp). :D

Can't wait for summer....see you on the water.

Yea, there's a couple horror stories of the GM hitch itself failing, but not the frame ever that I've heard of on all the truck forums.

That's why I skipped it on the order and put a real hitch on. ;)

You can't trust either one of them to get everything right (see transmission failures and front end vibration problems on the Ford) both much more common than hitch failures on the GM. :D

Here are a few pictures for Stecz20. :p :evilb: :D :evilb: :drink: :evilb:
So, 5 years and 9 months later.... I just hit 100,000 miles this morning on the way to work. That's 100,000 trouble-free miles (see post below). ;) :drink:
