Helped my buddy Jim with his resto- boat. He is taking it to a competition this weekend.
It's a 1960 15' Glastron converted to electric.
He can run on plane for about 45 minutes at about 100 amps. Burst to 200 amps at about 18 knots using two big lithium batteries.
In the winter, we like to plug in our ski boots to and from the slopes. Our heaters draw 13W each. Likely less than .25 amps.
Are there recommendations for a cargo area inverter with 2 sockets? I'd like to do a proper installation rather than zip tying something to the rollbar. Maybe...
Overall: It's OK.
When I received my Bronco in August, I did a full clay bar and polish. Normally, I would then put a couple of coats of Fleetwax on.
With the new Bronco, I tried Adam's Advanced Ceramic. Supposedly lasts 12 to 18 months etc.

Most of the run from Iowa to Denver was posted at 75. I held with traffic at 80 to 81 mph on cruise control ECO for the vast majority of that. Roughly 6 hours averaging 19mpg.
I had one 11...

Here's a DIY solution. You could use alternative shelving material. I will likely lay up a piece of high density foam core composite, just because i like doing that lightweight chit.
There are several aftermarket providers as well in the $70 to 200 range....
For the slide out shelf in the...
So Ford doesn't have a great record on this item. My early Broncos died of rust in the NE.
I used many cans of HDMP on my f150 in 2013 trying to forestall rust (good so far...)
I just picked up a 2003 f250 that has water absorbing foam in the fenderwells seemingly designed to accelerate...
It would be nice to have a new approach to offroad paint/coatings that is more resistant to desert pinstriping, chipping etc. I see a lot of older offroad vehicles spraying on heavy polyurethane/ plastic dip/ wraps etc. What other options might Ford consider?
A nice matte olive drab would be...
