Woodsman as you see your just like the rest of us. No one drives an Allison for the first time and drives them straight as an arrow without seat time. Its how you utilize that seat time which determines how soon you'll be driving her like there never was such a thing as chine walk.:beer:
Believe me that day will come. You'll look back and wonder what the fuss was all about as you go from 0-90 like it was nothing as level and straight as your doing 30!!
In the top right theres some really good other threads from some years back with great video instruction. You might want to do a search and read some of them also.
{And go out of your way}} to take Roy Suicidally or Tom SStom on there offer to come fish and boat with you. What you can learn in a afternoon of boating with a experienced Alli driver will take you over a year to learn on your own!!!!! It will take you around 3 weeks of trying to get it after some on board instruction and observation with them driving her and you watching and listening. Then one day it will all just happen. Just like that. One day you'll be washing the side decals and the next day you'll be flying her straight. Its a funny thing that.
The riding a bike example is the best one. I heard it like this and it makes sense to me. When the very first time you rode a bike as a youngster. I mean the very fist time. With your hands on the bars you were wobbling the wheel back and forth trying stay balanced so ya don't fall over{wash The decals} Then in time you could fly down a hill and the handle bars were straight as an arrow right. Heck you could get so good as to not even use your hands anymore. Well an Allison is like that. At first you try to hard and when the chine is coming you over steer {back and forth} just like the first time on a bike. But in time you'll be like a seasoned veteran same as you were riding a bike flying with only little corrections so small you don't even realize your doing it.
