2017 ProSport

[scj]

We picked up our new ProSport!
The pictures do not do the color justice.
As you may know I'm fond of orange. The Porsche red Allison uses, has a lot of orange tones in a t and when the sun hits it, it's exactly the shade of red I was hoping for.

Lots to do before I get it on the water.....

My 03 was the same color. Very nice!

Love the color , lets see the seats . Very nice ! What's the chrome bar on the trailer a step ?thats a nice option !

I'll get some pictures of the interior tomorrow. It's in a million pieces at the moment......

The stainless steel post is the hand hold for the new step that assists in getting on and off the front deck. Darris calls it the "step right up". It'll fit/retrofit onto any Boatmate trailer built for the XB-21's. Comes standard on the Elite boats and now an option when you buy. It 's nice when you're at the ramp loading the boat by yourself.

Yes, I seen Terry's boat (Allison rep) and really liked the contrast it adds....

We'll take a lot better pictures when we get it to the lake but I really doubt I can get all the rigging complete tomorrow.

The post is removable on the step.
All it takes to install the step is to remove the two bolts that hold the winch on and install the support bracket below the winch.

I'm excited to get power on the boat as this is the first one I've had with a Stealth charger and LED's throughout in all the compartments plus I've got to learn how to use the new Ulterra..........

Steve, beautiful rig man!! You really nail it when picking your colors lmty!! Wish I lived closer cuz I'm sure the pics don't do any justice.. One day hopefully my path takes me to a new as well.

Thanks Mick!

Awesome rig Steve. Should put up some good numbers when you get it propped right.

Gee Steve looks like my 2003 I sold after I bought your 2+2. The guy that bought it brought it back to Tennessee. Looks great, like the step is it going up on the Allison page for sale do I dare asked how much? Since I fish alone most of the time it would come in handy. I have noticed at theNCe ramps I'm backing deeper than on my 03.

I didn't ask the specific price of the step as it was included in the overall cost but they have them in stock and ready for delivery. Since I ordered mine with the boat, I got it color matched but they have black and silver models to retrofit.

Weighed the boat; 1410# with hydraulic jack plate, seats, tank, steering, radio, two 9" graphs, all gauges and wiring, Stealth charger system, padded carpet, empty tackle trays and bins. Engine weighs 519# with lifting ring, hub and battery cables. Cowl weighs 24#

Is there an eped on the front? Looms nice man.. I wish I had the step and swing away tongue on my 2004...!

That's what Darius was mocking up on the boat we moved to get the one I bought from you inside for the night.

 

[GotMyAlly]

Sharp! That's sho' nuff red. Only one more around that red. That step/grab handle is interesting too.

 

[GotMyAlly]

Alright, I gotta know.....how's the trailer fit on this one?

If Allison is really listening to customer feedback, they oughta be paying more attention to trailer fitment.

 

[scj]

We pulled it off of the trailer to weigh it then sat it back down, I was surprised how well it fit evenly to the boat.

I put 30 gallon of fuel in it, installed the batteries and engine and so far I have no complaints. We'll see how it holds up........

[Allyfishing]

I like that color much better than the last one.

 

[catfish123]

I like that color much better than the last one.

So do I..............MUCH BETTER.

What I always liked about Porsche Red is that it has a lot of orange in it. In certain lighting conditions, it looks more orange than red........
