The boat is A limited run factory reproduction of A 1957 StarCraft Ski Champ. The boat is A 2026 model Starcraft 57 Ski Champ. 14' 1" long with 66" beam rated for 6 passengers (that would be A tight fit) or 760 lbs. Comes with A 2026 Mercury 25hp four stroke outboard using custom paint and vintage decals to match the boat. Scored this one for $18,900 but most are going from $19,900 to $26,995. A quick google search will show many for sale, some in Michigan and Wisconsin.

Full pallet of black rubber mulch. May have slightly been slightly over loaded. I only had to drive about 2 miles and took it slow.

Hope all that smoke was from dinner in the smoker or the grill and not your transmission 🤪

Typically Nelson Ledges, Mid-Ohio, and PittRace (RIP) but now that I have the trailer I'm starting to get further afield. This picture was from the National Corvette Museum track down in KY. Hoping to get to Pocono and maybe Autobahn.

That setup definitely turns heads—hard to ignore a clean truck hauling a race-ready build like that. When the cop tapped on your window, did your heart skip a beat for a second, or did you already know it was just curiosity kicking in? 😄

Nobody stared at it really, but the fork lift operator at the sod farm didn’t believe a pallet would fit between the wheel wells…

It’s was easy, but the first time doing “truck stuff” with my FFRanger! It does ride real nice with 1000#’s in the bed!

Nice!
Just another one of those real-world pickup loads that only the Ranger can handle when it comes to mid-size trucks.

I still watch and have watched countless numbers of online video reviews of the Ranger.

It still amazes me how almost none of the journalist mention that the Ranger is only the body on frame mid-size truck that has over 48" between the wheel wells in the bed and can take on pallets or 4fr wide or 4x8 materials flat on the floor of the bed.
