That would be pretty awesome, if money were no object.

Look kinda funny showing up in that at the boat ramp, pulling a 2027 Ranger bass boat with all the bells and whistles.

Have you priced a new truck? I wouldn't consider the COE to be a practical mode of transportation, but I also don't consider a $100k 84 month loan for a new truck practical either. At least one of them is easy on the eyes.

I've always wanted to show up the the launch at a local WMA pulling a BBSB with a Model T wearing corduroy pants, waxed jacket, and a tweed hat, as if someone time traveled from 1917 to today. Then I'd proceed to kill a limit of ducks out of my BBSB over wood decoys with my Fox side-by-side. I would say live decoys and lead shot but I don't want to tangle with a game warden so wooden decoys will have to do. At any rate I'd put on an exhibition on how it was done for all the moto using, surface driving, 18' jon boat loving kiddies there. Okay, I'm dreaming. But damn that would be a thrill to pull off.
