    New Guy Questions

    Thanks for the info guys! Regarding the tow vehicle, I'm leaning toward an F-150 w/5.4-5.7 L engine and 4WD for peace of mind at the ramps. Don't plan on trailering very far from my near-coast storage site and the terrain here in NE FL is pretty flat, so it doesn't have to be a mondo stump...
