As previously stated, everyone has different preferences with PFD's. Get one that you are comfortable wearing for extended periods of time.

Those are Box Link tie downs. They could be Ford OEM, but there are several after market suppliers. You might talk with your local Ford dealer and ask if the key code numbers are OEM.

The side canal at 15th Street and Venice Drive is one area in Tahoe Keys to catch bluegill and small bass. Not a secret location by any means. There are other areas along some of the roads, but make sure the access is not posted "No Trespassing". If you can get access to main waterway in ...

Don't know if electric brakes are being used on new rigs, but electric brake systems were an option on some older trailers.
