Just so you know he will probably be looking at $7000 maybe more for one built, less if this guy knows of a used one.

I have a 08 chev 2500 with a jet craft deck. My truck has a 6 inch lift and have never had any troubles with it. It is bolted through.

Hey, just finished reading through this whole thread, didn't see anything that said how big of pieces of 3/4 plywood your using under the legs to distribute the weight. I just bought a classic marathon 8' sled deck and am mounting it in a 2004 dodge ram 2500 long box. Was planning on bolting through and using turn buckles as well. I know must people just turn buckle them and you can get away with it that way but I've heard some bad stories with dodges factoring hooks pulling out of the bed so was gonna bolt as well. Anyone with a dodge just turnbuckle their marathon in place?

i would put the deck in the truck box and see where it will sit first then you can see how big the plywood pieces should be as you want them to sit on multiple ribs of the box floor so it spreads the weight out better and will sit flat when bolted down

Hey guys I'm sure this is on here somewhere but having problems finding it. Looking at new sled decks and was wondering if running a 7 ft deck on a short box with a 154 track is legal or not and if those of you with 7 ft decks are happy or regretting not going with the 8 ft thanks in advance

I got a 8 ft deck on my dodge mega cab with 6ft 4 inch box , no issues been to BC and back
So I see there's a lot about people buying manufactured decks but are there many of you out there who have built your own? I've seen a couple in this thread and was curious as to how heavy did you go and how long have you been using them? I've already started building one, copying a guy next door who works at a polaris dealership and he just built his a couple months ago and loves it. I'll have to get a couple pics up when I can but just curious as to what you guys have

Doesnt sound like a bad deal. I think Bull dog are fairly reputable company. Deck prices have sky rocketed in the last few years, and ones for a long box are generally cheaper as most of the survey companies use them. I would check it out and compare to prices on here and kijiji.

Gona pick up a marlon from t team next week. Great price, looks good and comes with super clamps for the same price as I've been paying for other brands. 3200 for a standard deck seems way to steep to me unless it comes with clamps and super glides then maybe. Having a survey company means I buy a new deck at least once or twice a year. Now have multiple cross trax, multiple stf and now going to pick up marlon and give it a whirl. I like the idea of a one peice ramp sled deck for 2000$ cheaper than a marathon lol

i bought a marlon this year, so far i love it. i have a 2011 f250, not sure is anyone has had this problem, but on the new style superdutys, the front part of the box floor in front of the wheel wells curves up, instead of just being flat, thus my leg is not sitting on a flat surface, thinkin this could pound out the box in time. ideas?

Hey guys I have a marlon deck and it is a case of you get what you pay for:
cracked welds, chitty LEDS, the metal strip that goes across the back of the wood will rip off within the first few use's, the headache rack will pull free from the center bolt if you try to use it to secure you quad or UTV. If I could have waited I would have a jetcraft deck without a second thought.
