The Cummins is a great motor. If I remember correctly, people say to avoid the auto tranny with it, go with the stick.

Actually, Adrian.. The auto is the way to go, the auto is rated for quite a bit more torque than the manual... However, the real way to go is to do a Allyson swap, which costs about 5k$... If i could find a truck that already had an allyson swap i would be interested.. Or that may be a project down the road for me...A good friend of mine is a certified Cummins tech, so if i ever need any help i can call him he use to work on those motors daily in the marine core, before he went officer..

I also love being on the water in any type of way myself. My own vessels however are only 1 Murph-power. I have an aged but trusty Seaward Quest for relaxing paddles and longer trips and I borrow my wife's Necky Chatham when I get the urge to play in the waves. The Quest actually handles big waves nicely but at 19' long it is definitely not a playboat. Despite it's 15 years of age and dullened gel coat colours, the Quest remains my first and favourite kayak.
I grew up on fishing boats, speed boats and canoes. Hopefully, a little day sailor of some sorts is in the works for our bay in the near future. They are probably top of my list for items I enjoy.

Dak, my suggestion on the stick shift was based on talking to a couple of Dodge truck owners when I was shopping around for a diesel myself. They were driving slightly older trucks, so maybe the new autos have been improved. I've put over 30km's on my '10 GMC Duramax/Allison with no problems so far and the truck will get 30mpg's(imp) on the highway if cruising at 90km(55 mph approx).
