Hey, Thanks Buddy! I sell GM, Ford, Dodge, Nissan. I could have gotten you that rig and probably a little cheaper (unless you get the employee discount – but where I could have saved you a ton on the extras – rhino liner, brush guards, Step pipes or running boards, etc.) — Craig Baugher Belleville, Michigan r.o.f.b. website: http://r.o.f.b.home.att.net/

"A"-Plan Craig, sorry. I’ll be in the market for a bed liner. The last one cost $119.00 and also Bug shield. > Hey, Thanks Buddy! I sell GM, Ford, Dodge, Nissan.

Craig, if this is a dream, you should be looking at Shimano Stella 2500’s. 12 ball bearings and all metal construction. If you think the Sustain is great, you’ll love the Stella. Besides, then you can tell your wife that you’re taking Stella fishing! > 4 Shimano Castaic CA200 Pitching/Flipping > Plus lures, nets, culling system, rain gear, etc. > Ahhhh, To Dream. . . . . . . .

Vern, My dad and brother are both in the car bidness… If you’re looking for something, just let me know, they’ll do the rest…

Response:

That’s okay. I wasn’t sure if you were or not. I’m in the market at the moment though, so I will probably be out of the market by the time you roll over 300K.

Vern, It’s four full sized doors. "Cowboy Cadillac" if you will And in all reality, I really am not looking to sell it right now. I need the semiconductor industry to pick up a little before I go gag up on a new truck. I’ve got some buddies who fish the circuits and they have over 300,000 on their powerstrokes, so I’m hoping I can get at least that. I have found that fresh fluids are the secret to long life on these things. I run synthetic transmission fluid, sythetic rear end lube, and keep the radiator clean every year.

Response:

"Crew Cab"? Ford confuses me (doesn’t take much) with all their labeling. From what I understand, they have "Extended Cab" which is just the bench seat behind the front seats and only two doors. Then they have "Crew Cab" which is four doors… two normal size and two slender. Then they have "King Cab" which is four full size doors. Is that right? How many doors does it have? What do you want out of it?

Response:

Vern, Actually it’s a crew cab. I was in a mad panic to buy the thing when I got it Dec 31 of ‘96. I had to have a vehicle that day. Searching Ford dealers all over the state, looking for a short bed 2WD powerstroke crew cab was damn hard to find. I found it in Hempstead, a <yuk> black, conversion package. I didn’t want any of that foo foo crap, but that was it for trucks. I broke it in right too, hooked up the boat and drove it to Florida to fish a Redman regional. Put my foot on the floor, and hit the cruise control on a long downhill. Drive em like you’re mad at em. Works for me.

Response:

I’m always looking. If it’s in decent shape and you get ready to sell it… call me. Mine had almost 200K miles on it before I got rid of it. I only got rid of it because I was in a wreck and it started to nickle and dime me to death after that. Prior to that… not a bit of a problem. I say I was in a wreck… actually, I was in a tornado. March 28 of last year, one came through Williamson County. Picked me and the truck up about nine to twelve feet in the air (according to witnesses) and threw us about 300 feet off the road. Truck came to land on the passenger side front tire… broke the axle and a lot of body work. Then hubs started giving me fits. Then a bunch of little repairs one after another. I got torgued one day so I sold it. Darn I miss that truck. Yours is the extended cab right?

Vern, Do you really want this unit? I just yesterday rolled 200,000 miles on it. One set of brake pads, that’s been the total extent of service done to it since it was new. Please someone try and tell me to run something different. The one thing that ripped my drawers on the last GM I had (96 Suburban) Other than it fell apart at 40,000 miles, was the stupid GOVERNOR they put on it. By gosh, if I want to run 120 down the highway, I don’t want my stupid vehicle telling me I can’t. Very aggravating. That Ford might not win a drag race, but it’ll pull my boat 113 mph, and I’ve got the ticket to prove it. )

Response:

Dream Setup? Easy… (one) 8 ft bamboo pole (one) spool 4lb trilene line (one) Snoopy or Mickey Mouse Bobber. Why? because all of this probably wouldn’t even cost 20 bucks. fishing equipment for 20 bucks. That is definitely a dream …hehehehehehhee,,,eh,,,cough. Jim

Response:

When you’re ready to get rid of your F250, let me know! Seriously. I’m looking for a new one. I sold mine in January and bought an Expedition. Still a nice truck, but certainly not a F250.

Close, but a few differences. First off, that GM would have to go. I’ve had nothing but bad experiences with them. I guess I’ll have to replace my F250 powerstroke with another just like it. White w/burn orange accent on the bottom. (Go ‘horns) I just sold the best fishing boat I’ve ever had, the Champ 202 bass n bay.:( However it is supposed to be replaced by a Back Country 201 guide w/225 Yamaha. This should be a quite good "all purpose" rig. Saltwater fishing has been booming here for the last four or five years, and everyone wants something to bass fish and also chase speckled trout out of in the summertime. The B/C should fill the bill quite nicely. I don’t think it’s quite as fast as the Champ, but we’ll see what kind of tweaking we can do to it. I guess as far as rods go, I would like to maybe snag a few more Waterloo’s. Those are fine units, I just need to find some more trade bait for Roger I guess…. And a bushel basket of time. Pat

Response:

Ah… but not just ANY rain gear… "Frog Togs" are the only way to go!!! Been using them long before I started fishing. They are simply the best. They are made of a sort of Tyvek type material. Breathes pretty nicely even on the hottest of rainy days. EXTREMELY light weight. Won’t mold or mildew even if you store them wet (don’t ask me how they accomplish that!) Typical pair is about $130.00 or so. BUT WORTH EVERY PENNY. They have two pants styles… regular type pants and overall looking type pants complete with suspenders. FINALLY!!!…. something I know a little about…. Rain Gear. I was starting to feel bad as this whole time I haven’t contributed anything to the group except for my questions. <grin>

Response:

Ok, I can’t deny it any longer… Here’s my list… 2001 Chevrolet Corvette convertible, dark metallic green with tan leather interior. Of course, since this is a dream, I guess I’d have to go with a Callaway edition. My boat would be a 2001 Champion around the 21′ range, with the biggest motor that it would take. GPS would have to be included here. I can’t read a sonar well enough to actually dream about one. But, I guess that if mine would show more than a foot of water all the time, I could learn a little something with it. I’m pretty happy with the rods and reels that I have now, so throw a few more of those into the dream just so I wouldn’t have to retie as often. But then again… still dreaming… I could have a fishing caddie to always have the right equipment ready whenever we get to a new hole. Topping off my dream would be a wife that supported my habits more than just tolerated them. "Good morning dear… I’ve got your breakfast and coffee ready. You go eat while I prepare the boat for you." she would say. "I’ve also made your favorite lunch and placed it in the cooler next to the gallon of iced tea." but that would really be dreaming. It could also turn into a nightmare coming home from the lake a little earlier than expected. One final dream… man, and this is the biggie!!! A whole tackle box full of "Boomerang’s"!!! HehehLOLlolLOLheheheeeeee, yeah, and some more of those Banjo’s and Helicopter lures…. Oh… and a lifetime supply of batteries for that darn singing Billy Bass! "Take me to the river…. Drop me in the water…." Sorry y’all…. just a little caffene high going and I can’t stop!

Response:

Already have most of it. Ranger 520, Chevy Tahoe, Tackle for miles, enough rods and reels to equip a regiment. Only thing I don’t have right now is a huge breasted fishing assistant. Preferably mute! Sorry to the ladies for the MCP thing but he did say dream! Dan

Response:

Great list, I would take it. But, then again, here’s mine Tow Vehicle" 2001 Green Ford F250 Extended cab XLT. V10, 4X4 Off Road, bedliner, auto trans, some nice 33’s with some BFG All Terra’s, and a CD Player. Nothing too fancy, gotta be able to live with the thing smellin’ like fish, remember Boat: White Lund 2025 Pro-V SE. 225 Evinrude FICHT or Yamaha 3.1L VMax, Lowrance electronics, Minn Kota Auto Pilot, and again, a CD player. Rods/Reels: At least 50 various G Loomis rods with Abu Garcia and Shimano reels. Tackle: Enough that I actually NEED the extra garage space I currently have. Ain’t it great to dream?
