Great looking boat for sure! Love the color. We used to hit Clinton before we gave up trailering and got at place at LOTO.

Love the Weim as well. Great family dogs!

Thanks again for posting those Sieben. Time for some tower speakers? Some white Rev 10's would complement her nicely. :D

If you don't need the power of horns, some white JL Audio 8.8's will work too. 8-)

Sharp looking boat! :) Shady Creek :?:

Love the boat and family. Thanks for posting.

Curious the year of your raptor and how it tows the r5? I have a raptor and order a r6. Read ford wants you to use a weight distributing hitch over 5k. Thoughts?

I ended up putting a fourth spring on the rear. It does fine at 65mph. Mileage goes to hell (under 10mpg) and it struggles on hills above 65MPH.

I use a WDH with a regular F-150. A Raptor would need it even more.
