Looks like the boat that James Bond made the jump with, especially the second pic.  :D

Is this person a club member or know about us?

Do you think he'd notice if the plastic flip up cover on the bow was missing when he came back? ;D

Gregg

Is that a Ford Escape your pulling with, I have been looking at a 2012 Escape with 3.0 engine thinking it mught be a good tow vehicle...  

I have a F150 just about the same as the red one in the picture, trying to get a better gas mileage vehicle for an overall year round driving...Any opinions would be great...

Mine is a 2002 Escape V6, I think it's a Mazda motor, it get's very poor mpg.
Maybe 14 mpg in town and maybe 18 to 19 on long trips/hiway.
My wife's a LEAD FOOT !
It has plenty of power though ...

New one's are turbo's with same 3500 lbs towing caps.
