My 2007 Toyota LandCruiser, great because you can raise and lower the LandCruiser by just pushing a button on the dash which is great for launching and loading the boat as well as hitching and unhitching the trailer.
Also by pushing a button on the dash front and rear diffs. are locked with all four wheels driving. No launch ramp is too steep or too slippery.
Nautiboyz, my Pursuit is actually the Drummond Island Runner (not the Sportfish). The center island is an outdoor kitchen with a jump seat that folds out to a flat sunning pad. I went with this to make sure the Admiral was pleased. She wouldn't go for a dedicated fishing boat. I had a guy custom make the hardtop rod holder to give me some carry capacity for rods. She carries 300gal of fuel and gets approx 1.3mpg at cruise speed of 29mph turning 4000 rpm, approx 1.4mpg at cruise speed of 34mph turning 4500rpm. Top speed with full fuel and 5 guys on board is 44mph. I've seen 47mph top speed with 3/8 fuel and two people on board.
'99 F350 V10 132k miles. Its my work truck most of the time.
