Fastest Vee Bottom

[Yellowallison]

Firstly, the triad is called a v21, it is a Wally Lamkin design. Absolutely no relation the Allison

 

[RBT]

Yup. Scott.

Different length
Different width
Different deadrise
More strakes
Different width pad

But ya, the same.

 

[Darth VMAX]

I have always been told for years that the Triad was kin to the GT20 Allison.

 

[RBT]

I have heard that myth for a decade, but the fact is they are very different. Wally is an innovator, like Paul/Darris. It does look similar, but put them Side by side and the difference is clear.

 

[RBT]

It is like saying a full throttle is a mirage..... That's for you Scott.

 

[Kcraft]

You would think that a GT 20 with a Big Block would be "no problem"
There is a Blue and white RR XR's out there with a E Tec +++:blah blah blah
Just Do It.unch
:razz

 

[racerx]

Why put a E-tec on a RR when they go faster old school...

 

[Darth VMAX]

My guess would be new technology and people wanting new powere instead of constantly working on the old school stuff keeping it alive.

I think its cool....its literally watching the process of adaptation which in the end leads to higher performance. A lot of "thinking outside the box" going on...

 

[Kcraft]

This is beautiful:big grin

Not too too far out of the box thinking, just the obvious...:big grin
XS for play day or a X for pay day...:at the bar

Thats a very good point Jeff. I would also say thats not the hull for a BB. The 21fters and 03,s are the only boats that have shown promise with the BB really. I mean you can try anything but a 260 or drag gets a RR into the 120,s+ so messing with a motor setup on hull that all ready holds records with a 2.4 and 2.5 seems no point in trying a low rever.

Its like that 18ft Bayliner that did 120mph with a BB inboard. The hull was designed to do 50mph but were theres a will theres a way..And really the 260 modded is the perfect motor for the GS and Xb03 really. Balance and safety into the 104ish mark has been proven to work for years. A 300 on a XB2003 barrel rolled yes. Not good and ver sad and unfortunate. But at the same time more 260 XS and XB,s have hooked.... its all about the setup and mostly the respect the driver has for the conditions and combo running assuming were all good drivers. Then still anything can happen.

As far as the GT20 accommodating a 250xs or 300xs same thing applies. Though the bow of the GT to me anyway looks a little on the big side to fly much past 100. To me she looks like they would catch to much air and force the air in a down and out with not enough even distribution funneling toward the stern to put up really big numbers. If i were a betting man my money would go to the XB21 light layup. So the XB21 hull with a xb2002R style top deck and a punched out 300XS. So no extra weight small consol XB2002 style center steer cock pit engine fairing. That hull to me looks like she would put up some healthy numbers with 50+ years of Allison magic below the the rubrail!! Guys are getting around 100 with stock power loaded to the nuts with all the bells and whistles. Make that bottom configuration on a 900lbs or less boat with a 300xs and she would be a very fast boat I think with a few tweeks hear and there.:beer:

Yes one of my favorites!! Man they should make a bronzed statue of that motor so we can hail to the king! In wikipedia under super sick this the motor that should appear!!! :big grin

 

[RBT]

Harry's boat is one of my all time favorites, the color is awesome. The motor is another story, it is one of the late GREAT Galen Burdens monsters. It alone is a work of art!

Great guy for sure. Motor is even more impressive in person.

Must not been DIFFERENT ENOUGH for WALLY to keep building them? which might explain why when I last seen the V21/GT20 molds they was full of rain water providing a nice home to family of South Carolina Bull frogs outback of Wallys shop :big grin

CARRY ON RBT.......didn't mean to interupt you being BILL SEEBOLD/REGGIE FOUNTAIN again on Allison owners...

[Dave Hensley]

Great guy for sure. Motor is even more impressive in person.

Anybody have a couple of pictures of the entire rig? Was that Galens Bahama blue XR2001?

3 liter Merc on a Taylor mid, XR6??

Who owns it?

 

[michael j giesler]

No that not galens old ally Harry ordered that new bad *** boat and setup

 

[Dave Hensley]

So it is one of he 4 new xr2001's with the transom/splashwell mods? I was thinking there were 4 and one was Galen blue.

 

[RBT]

No the new blue is Brett's, it is also big block powered.
Harry is older, it is probably 09 ish.

Scott will fill you in on the rest.
