Are you still looking for a 16' Allison. I have a friend in Tn. selling his 16R. I believe it's a 1977, but not sure. It's in excellent condition, has an inline 150 Merc, and nice clean trailer.

I've installed several SEI outdrives to replace "stock" Alpha drives. Three had great luck, one has had shifting issues & vibration issues and shipped back 3 times. Still not really right. Suicidealli is correct, cast in China, assem in Flordia. I wouldn't use one on a performance application...

I have a 1975 Johnson 135hp with 3 lower units (1 good, 2 for parts), no trim. Engine ran great last time I ran it which was about 5-6 years ago. I'd like to get $600 out of it.

Call the factory and ask for Darris, He built many of the 13' & 14' Allys in that timeframe. He'll know everything you want to know & more. Great guy & resource.

Red is correct, the first 2 numbers are the year, the next 2 are size, and last 2 are the production number for that model. I have a 691804 and a 701423. Not positive on my 14 since the name plate is missing. need to check title to confirm the "23". I've ask in an earlier post if anyone knows...

Looking for 2 Allison Bucket seats. Prefer white or red.

Michael, Do you have the factory Hull ID plate that mounts to the front of the splash well? I'm trying to find where to get one or a replica for mine. Any ideas where to look would be appreciated.

Hi Todd, I'm looking for some advice on props and set up for my 70hp Johnson (20") on a 14' Allison. Any advice would be appreciated. Seems almost impossible to find props for it! Thanks, Jim Bob

Hey Red, I also have a 18R out back. Mine's a 1969 and the transom was partially sawzall'd out by the previous owner. Needs a total restore, but it's not so bad that it's not worth it. Got a friend with a real nice 1969 18R. I believe his is an unmolested/ original hull. I just finished my...

Since your old shifter doesn't have the key built in, the push to choke would not be , affected. I just installed an old OMC I/O shifter on my Johnson 70hp 14' Allison. I had no problems. The only thing you might have a slight issue with is getting universal cables to fit the Merc control and...

Anyboby know where I might get a Hull ID plate for a 1970 Allison? It mounts on the front of the splashwell, has 6 digit HIN and the HP section was usually left blank. Thanks.

Michael, I'm currently restoring a 14' Allison. What type/brand of paint did you use? What HP is that motor and any setback? How about engine height? I'm looking for starting points on mine. I have a 70hp Johnson on a 4" setback. Hasn't been in the water since retore project started 2-3 years ago.

Adam, I'm interested if it's still available. Please send pics to jimbobs@fuse.net Thanks.
