Give her some salt and a hammer....

Up until 4 weeks ago I had a Silverado to pull my boat, bought it brand new. First ever new vehicle in my life, my intention was to drive to the wreckers. That did not happen as I had it towed to the transmission shop instead. A result of GM's fuel management system where it shuts down 4 of the eight cylinders when not required. This does bad things to the torque converter and that results in  glittery transmission fluid and burnt clutches. I ended up selling the truck to the transmission shop and started shopping for a replacement. I was advised to get a F150 with the 5.0 engine. I did not want a crew cab, so I had to search far and wide to get one with a super cab (cab and a half). This is what I ended up getting as my new to me truck:

And here is what I hope to have it looking like as often as possible

Well written and cogent. Thank you for your efforts. 

I had the same thing, perhaps the post should be removed? 

@Loonietoon I've got a rod for him if you need one. 

@KraTToR @Loonietoon will pick up the spinner bait box for me when he stops by as arranged. Thank you very much, once again.

PM replied to. 

I'd be all over #3, if possible. 

It's always something you said, you'd think you would have learned by now. 

Condolences 

Call Chris Vandenberg at 905 730 0361 I have has all of my work done there. Very satisfied. Located in Southern Mount Hope. 

All Niagara area border crossings are closed right now due to a vehicle explosion at the Rainbow Bridge. I hope no one took a day trip today. You'll be going back via Gananoque or Detroit.

Put the money into the interior - what you are actually going to use. 

Here is another mechanic worth dealing with as well: https://redlinemarine.net/  Dave has always treated me well. 

In short, yes. In long form, it may be less expensive to replace it with a good used one. What year, make and model motor? 

What about doing it on a wood lathe? You're welcome to try it out on mine. Using chisels rather than metal cutting points.

Any thoughts on Whata Station? I'm heading up to Parry Sound in a week or two, along the 400 and need to fill up the boat.

Replaced the cartridge and all good now. 

Crazy how much water the pump leaked into the boat.  Mid summer failure out of the blue too, not ice related.  If I didn't randomly run the bildge that day wouldn't of noticed until I saw water creep on the floor

That's why an auto switch on your bilge is a must.... Just my two cents or .0001 US 

So glad to hear this, I really admire the work you did to that cabin. 

Any word yet?

I really hope you don't lose this to the wildfires. We are praying for you guys down south. 

At least its' last trip resulted in some nice fish. Sorry to see that happen.

Glad to see the book was thick enough and thrown hard enough.
