We bought a 2004 Dodge RAM 2500 5.9L Cummins that has quite a few miles on it but we believe still has plenty of life left in her. We’re calling our build Project Lefty because this truck was “lefty” for dead until we got our hands on it and we're committed to doing what we need to do to bring it back to life. We worked with ShearComfort on some seat covers to give the interior a fresh and cust...

    Smoker Craft/Sunchaser owner of one their boats. I'm here to warn everyone about their product, DO NOT BUY! Spent $94k on a 2021 boat that turned out to be an absolute lemon. The quality of the material is so cheap that cup holders weren't glued on properly and flew out of the boat while on the lake. One of the benches collapses downward when you sit on it because it has zero support underneath the cushion. Worst of all, the fiberglass beneath the Capt's chair & the helm is cracking & they won't cover it under warranty. Why? They automatically assumed it's from an impact, which is a lie, I've never hit anything. They are the absolute worst company I've ever dealt with. Stay as far away as you can!

    When you buy a new pontoon, its not only the boat you are buying, it’s the warranty. All Manufacturers are going to have issues, its how they handle them that matters. I bought a 2020 Birkshire 23 STS Entertainer (Forest River) with a Yamaha 250 HO from Robertson Motorsports. After extensive online research I decided to go with Birkshire because of their reviews and the composite deck. All for not... the pontoon had a list on the starboard side, identified in the first two weeks, after 8 months of trying to have the boat repaired I traded it in. The first 6 months was wasted on Birkshire taking the stance that the starboard pontoon had water in it, even after having it checked 2x time, finally on the 3rd check they concluded it was not a water issue. At that point they realized that replacement or repair of the starboard pontoon was not going to resolve it, the only positive outcome would be a complete replacement which they were not prepared to do. My original Dealer parted company with Birkshire (now selling Bennington) so Birkshire referred me to their new Dealer Martin Motorsports. They offered to buy my pontoon at wholesale and sell me a new boat, attempt a repair inhouse. They wanted a financial cushion of 20k as they did not know how much Birkshire would contribute (if any) and uncertainty if it could be resolved. I turned the deal down. I traded the boat back to the original dealer for a Bennington, lost 12k which was my least / worst position. Bottom line I would not touch a Forest River boat with a 10 foot pole, their warranty is bunk !!

    Quote: Lago 22S, rigged with a Mercury 150 outboard. There’s plenty of punch to satisfy all but the most demanding speed and power mavens; we maxed out at just over 36 mph at 5,900 rpm and accelerated to 30 mph in 7.4 seconds. The 22S is also a fuel-sipper; we recorded a best cruise speed at 3,000 rpm and 15.8 mph, burning 3.6 gph and netting 4.4 mpg, which calculates to a 230-mile range from a full 58-gallon tank, leaving 10 percent in reserve for the ride home. The sound level at that speed is just 72.7 dB(A), so conversing with the party on board is easy.
