What next an RHA with a DD13?

Nope. The Sport Chassis is bad ass and does the work of pulling the Skater perfectly. But... our lives are all about family, the entire family. Getting Brian up in the cab is a real PIA. We do it, but its a struggle. I ordered a new F450 that came in a couple weeks ago. It does fine. I'd rather tow with the SC, but it's not a good family vehicle. Also, driving around town going to dinner and such is a pain, parking is a real pain.

Brian needs nearly no assistance getting in and out of the F450. I'm also amazed at how comfortable the F450 is. It rides better than does my F250 Tremor. (and has far more power than the 7.3 gas motor.)

I was mildly concerned I'd need air bags. The trailer only settled the truck ~2 inches.
I thought the hieght of the skater would "shrink" the look of the 450 but the proportion looks right, just gives the boat a slightly larger presence.
Very Nice!

Didn't realize your truck was a '14! It looked like new. I don't know if you have it listed on any of the horse type sites, but this time of year the rodeo guys winter down there. It being 4wd, and badass, may appeal to the show horse crowd.

The wife is super-duper happy with the F450. She needs to look out the back window when backing. She hasn't mastered mirrors and I don't want to make things worse by teaching her. :cool:

The tight turning radius is also a bonus. The SC is 277" , the F450 is 266". Rotating the big trailer into my driveway is far easier as well. My street is narrow AF. The SC required my right front to climb the curb into my neighbor across the streets driveway, leaving black marks on his light pavers. :mad:

@nganga any idea what boat it will be used to tow around the country?
Congrats!
It’s weird how it sold. I wasn’t getting any inquiries so I decided to get a little more serious.

I was going to list it on Racing Junk. While I was on the site, I saw an add from a guy in Kentucky. It said “I buy Sport Chassis”.

So, I called the guy.

That was Wednesday. Friday he wired the money. Yesterday his folks flew in a drove it back to Kentucky.

I owned it 3 years. Bought it Retail, sold it wholesale and lost 10K. I’m not unhappy.

I could have gotten more had I just decided to wait, but a private sale is difficult on these because I can’t help with financing if required.

He said he has three potential buyers already.

Incase you’re not ready to ride the red tide all the way.

get polished wheels for the 450. the red wheel screams hey look at it. black wheels look nice. but the set up the red rum mti has on his 450 is awesome.
