I just saw a show on the new concepts of trucks and cars, how come surfing takes top honors. With as many hunters and fisherman there are in this world, you would think that someone would make a truck built for the fisherman in mind.

If you were to have a truck built to your specs a (muskie edition) what would you like to see.

Only for starters here:
- 4wd
gotta have manual locking hubs though
- regular cab with regular bed (no short bed)
- capper with some type of roof mounted tubes to slide
your rods into
- minimum of a 350 or 360 motor for the towing

I think that a modified version of the new Dodge truck would work pretty good. 20" wheels, etc, but then run a suburban style body enclosure out the back that would give you all the storage, etc.

So I guess I'm just really takiing about a suburban with Dodge styling, huh.

Oh yeah, Big motor, with performance chips, exhaust, etc. If it's got less than 450 streetable hp and 500 torque, just leave it at home with your Honda Civic. [:devil:]

Full-time 4WD/All Wheel Drive like my Jeep. It's so nice.

I briefly met a guy up on LOTW once - he invented some sort of an affair that allows one heavy duty pickup to transport two fully-rigged fishing boats at the same time. His invention was purchased by some investment outfit and he became a very wealthy dude. He retired in his mid-30's. When I met him at LOTW he was in the middle of his annual FOUR WEEK Canadian fishing trip. Dang.

Last year at the tri-esox show somebody had a Tahoe parked in the lot that was orignally green but they had it painted with muskie stripes in a highlight pearlescent green. It was very cool.

How about AUTO-PILOT, set your destination and go to sleep let the truck and electronics do all the work while you rest, The really neat thing is we have the technology to do this but $$$$ is another matter
