Replacing the impeller is a piece of cake IF THE MOTOR WAS OUT OF THE BOAT haha Problem is getting to it while it is in the boat but I will figure it out once it warms up here in Michigan :)

It smelled fishy to me as well and that is why I told them right away HELL NO. I winterized the motor by myself by draining all the water out of it and filling it with antifreeze. Sea water pump issue is most likely only an impeller gone bad which a $30.00 part and 4 screws to take out. I will...

Pulled my boat out Monday and was getting it winterized by a local marina here in Michigan. They called me earlier saying that they can not winterize it because the sea water pump is bad and that the cost to replace it would be $700.00. Last two times I used the boat I did notice that it was...

I need to get couple of those lounge mats that lady is laying on. What kind are those and where did you get them from?

It did the job, that's for sure. I am just not sure how it would hold up if I towed it every weekend 600+ miles... I keep this boat in a slip 5 minutes from my house so I wont tow it often, but I do plan to take it to Northern Michigan couple times a season and I think F150 can handle that :)

I felt like it towed a lot better in 4H, it gave the truck more control of the load. Yes, the trailer had Electric brakes on both axles. Stopping was not a problem nor was the pulling. This was my friends trailer, I do not own one. He also has a 2008 260DA. I plan to buy a trailer next year and...

I emptied my holding tanks and only had about 10 gallons of fuel...

I've been thinking about this for couple of months before the trip. Safety was #1

Safety was #1 concern. I tested the trailer brakes on the parking lot and F150s E brake controller was set so the trailer brakes did most of the braking. Trailer was newer and rated for 9000lbs. Truck had tons of power and could probably pull another 5000 lbs without a problem. I was in tow mode...

F150 pulled thru... at 8mpg using 87grade and 10mpg using 93grade, doing 65-70mph. Pulled 300 miles without a problem. Will update after trip...

My manual says 7000lbs dry. I also do not have gen, ac, only 2 batteries and plan to tow it dry... might fuel up once I am close to lake.

Thank you all for your input, I will go with it, take it easy and hopefully wont have any issues.

My truck is equiped with full towing package including Ebrake controller. I am being optimistic about it. I just dont want to rent a pontoon for a day for $450.00
