I really like the looks of that. Any info on the builder or where they got the plans from?

Re: Opinions on diesel trucks

I am going to work for Toyota. Right now I work for an independent that specializes in Toyota so I am familiar with the product. I am slightly apprehensive just for the fact that change is scary, but change is good. It time for a change! I gave my notice last night and will be starting in two weeks....

Re: Opinions on diesel trucks

Well guys,

all the info has been nice, but my diesel plans are on hold for now. I got a job offer and am going to be making a change, so vehicles have taken a back burner for now. Maybe in the future?

Re: Pacific Boats/Skiffs Recent Deliveries

No matter what they use it for I think it looks awesome and it probably serves the purpose it was built for. All of the other boats are quite impressive as well. I always like seeing smaller center console style work boats no matter who the builder is ( as long as they are welded alloy).

Re: Boat shopping

Do you sell the plans for that hull? Is it possible to build it without that casting platform up front? Final question is it self bailing?

I like that hull, simple and durable looks. Nice!

My father has an 04' Cummins dually and he went through three trannies in the first 50k miles. Maybe he was just a little to tough on the equipment?

Opinions on diesel trucks

Hey guys, I have been thinking alot lately about buying a new (to me) truck. I am a diehard Toyota guy but they just don't build a truck big enough/tough enough for what I want to do. I was thinking about buying a tundra 01-04 but the bed just isn't big enough. I can't swing one of the new Tundras w...
