-IT'S the 60th ANNIVERSARY of ALLISON BOATS this year!!- ..And for fun, I thought we should have a theme that people could get into character for. If they want. First I thought ok, Hawaiian...then I thought (YAWN). We need something with a bit more DRAMA. So, there is a definite THEME for...

I am running a last-gen 2006 200xs SS on a 1995 GSE. I put a Smartcraft on it last summer. At that time, I was chasing down some electrical issues (ultimately it was the TPI) and so I bought the Merc shop manual. A couple days ago, I'm out running under 4,000 rpm just leisurely cruising and...

Wednesday, June 24th will be the second annual lunch at Lou-Ow's Cove of Scum and Villainly. Time is 12:30PM and I want this cove packed tight with Allisons so my neighbors will know there's more where I came from so they had better stay nice. LOL just kidding I have awesome neighbors and one...

Does anyone have a look-up table (or perhaps this is too simplistic) for what octane fuel is required to prevent detonation at specific compression numbers in psi? For example something along the lines of: 135 psi = 92 octane 185 psi = 110 octane (not that those numbers are necessarily...

Guys, Thanks to the fact that Tony Clark introduced me to Jon Woodall who lives nearby here on Watts Bar Lake, who just HAPPENS to be employed by one of the world's largest and best-known computer networking companies....Voila! Allison Owners Forum Gen3. It took Jon MONTHS of hard work to...

Arguably a leak down test is the best way to determine overall health of your motor--at least the rotating assembly. I have a whole Snap-On brand setup for leak down testing and all necessary tools, and was thinking that if any of you wanted this test you could get it done at my place during...

Is there a thread that I'm not seeing that has the 2015 dates for Fastpass?

OK, let's hear it from the professionals, experienced, or just the opinionated... You're at a given setup and WOT going for the big number. You've seen this number before, last year, but now lacking it by 1-2 mph (or more) this year no matter what. Elevation and temperature and humidity are...

I'm going to try and make this as concise as possible. Need some help from a motor guru familiar with optimax / 200XS 15". The poppet valve has always been strange and mysterious to me. My knowledge of these motors cooling system is pretty much limited to the fact that water cools them...

Death race 2013 in progress right now. Taking SS comp to Darris for major surgery after argument with rock pile. 1st of several trips to East TN in the next 6 months...Then, the LAST crossing of the CA border.

Have a sharp alien cowl with custom decal that says "MERC" with a yellow edge surround and the logo is is white with red shading...I've yet to take pics but will. Also has dual skull & crossbones on the back of cowling...This was the original "XrunninY" cowling. I'm offering it here to my buds...

This year's roadtrip to FastPass was planned and executed like a moon mission. Having made the drive so many times before, I planned way ahead and got hotel rooms paid for in advance, knowing where we'd be stopping, dividing the three-day trip roughly into two "easy" days (650 miles approx) at...

My Grandsport has always suffered from extremely low tongue weight. Even my featherweight SS2000 comp has like 75-100 lbs on it. The GS practically levitates. In fact, parked backwards against the logs in the Bear Inn lot, it DID levitate. This just wasn't right and it was a pain to tow...

I recall hearing from someone at the factory or on a factory tour that our boats were not designed to be left in the water docked for long periods of time. Does anybody know the "safe" window for this? Why is it? What happens?

On this board. I'm no longer really 2fast4mom because mom was 2slow to keep up...:LMAO: I'm thinking of a new handle...Jonesn4Speed...what do you think?

I have it on good authority that the next FastPass will be July 12-18, 2014. Just thought it would be good to let everyone know.

For being this year's MVP at FastPass. Y'all are the best. You are actually MVP every year in my opinion.

Of running WOT at Clifton yesterday from a go pro camera mounted to our fairing. Even caught part of Ed Dear's hook. That was scary. Will get them to YouTube and post links soon. Today we want to set up the cam to watch the lower unit at high speeds.

OK, y'know those black plastic strips on the spendy Merc fat shaft hubs that are always falling off? What is the best adhesive you have found to re-attach them? (assuming they didn't fall into the lake while pulling a prop). I have a new hub from Merc and it seems they might have solved...
