Highly doubt anyone has done this. Your CG would be completely FUBARed without moving fuel tanks, batteries, etc. Every year I see a thread or boat on THT where someone with more money than brains follows through with what you are proposing - and/or putting another engine or much bigger engines...

They are small oval GW stickers. They tend to get torn off if you pivot the seat 180⁰ to face aft. I think one of mine is still attached, but the other got knocked off ( I still have it). Next time I'm at the boat I'll get a photo.

97 for transoms. 98 for stringers and transoms.

Call me crazy, but I think your issue is the idle is too low. An f150 shouldn't go below 650-700 rpm when in gear. Unfortunately I can't tell you how to increase the idle speed on a digital f150 but the interwebs seem to indicate a mechanic with the right software can.

I just flip the hull liner over. So much easier! :p

I think you are on the right track. Cut the drain tube from the inside with a Dremel and drop the entire assembly out the bottom with the hose attached. You can likely install the lower half of the drain from the bottom with the hose attached and thread the mating piece from the top side. Yeah...

What Mustang said is correct and would concern me. Especially if the boat has been kept outside or in the water, I wouldn't want it. A single water leak from a deck screw to a stringer will cause significant rot. Ive seen it 1st hand. If it has been stored indoors for its life and you plan to...

Congratulations on your boat! Photos or it didn't happen. :) You will be completely satisfied with the f150. The digital version is identical to the f200 minus throttle and ignition mapping that mostly affects the upper rpm range. While only 300 HP collectively, you have 5.6 liters of...

In that case, maybe I'll have my wife join it!:)

That's almost enough for me to consider reopening my FB account!

After replacing nearly the entire brake system they aren't as bad, but I don't know if it is because the parts are better, the brakes aren't broken in, or the anti squeal I put on the back side of the pads. Time will tell.

If you buy a newer Loadrite they have a built-in trailer brake notification feature. Every time you step on the brakes you can hear them squeal even with the windows up and AC on!

It's tough to explain without writing a book, but those numbers are derived off of the SAE J684 towing standards and are most applicable to travel trailers (TT). They are generally conservative. Your hitch won't fail at 501 lbs or 700 lbs for that matter. They are guidelines that Ford came up...

I honestly don't mean to rain on your message, but your statements are not correct. From Ford's towing guide: Yes, I know it's only an image. I just want to set the record straight for others.

Sometimes that is true. Sometimes it isn't. What would you like to know?

You can get away with towing a 282 illegally, but you will need at least a ¾ ton. I tow the 270 with a max tow f150 the last year for the 270 was 2005. I know someone who tows a 270 all over Florida with a Tundra. I've also owned the 248/258. The 228 has a cockpit as big or a little bigger than...

I wish I could have found one of those to try out on Erie. The chop here is notorious. I've only ever seen the CC model in this neck of the woods. I had wondered if the snap role would be a reoccurring issue with the short wave period or if it was an overblown issue.

If only I had the time to worry about too many hours on my engines! Congrats to you Sir!

24 more months of payments and I'll own it free and clear! The salesman said I was lucky to get the deal he made me.

Looks like using the good ole fashion duct tape log might be a good belt and suspenders approach for me since my brain is a steel trap - with both ends wide open!
