Thanks for all the warm welcomes everybody. Can't wait to call myself an owner of one of these fine machines. I'm from Gulfport MS. by the way
That will do it.. Takes me about a week after I get home to talk without a twang......You adjust by imbibing copious quantities of "pie," and before long, you're talking just like "them!"
Well, the first Allison I went to buy was 11.5 hours one way and was not what the owner said it was. The second Allison I looked at was an 8.5 hour around trip, once again not what the owner advertised. The third time was the one and I'm glad I held out because it was everything that I had wanted color, 225pm, 15"mid, sportmaster, ect, and all original, for a deal I couldn't pass up. I also bought it a year ahead of schedule :wink.
:gasp:gaspThat will do it.. Takes me about a week after I get home to talk without a twang......
I was hooked the first time I saw one run!!!!! The guy came in, and said his 260 wasn't running right... It would only spin 7500, and 108 mph....I was running a 17' Norris craft with a hot 2.4, and running mid 80's....
I was 60 hp over the max for the boat... That was 91,92. Back then mid 80's was running in a bass boat.. I didn't take my boat off the trailer til he left..lol
I knew then I had to get a better hull.......

Ha Ha I feel the same way. I cant wait to get out of there boat and back in mine,take them for a real ride...When I ride in friends' bass boats, it just kills me when it takes 7-8 seconds to plane off, and all I wish is that I had my boat so they could experience what a real hole shot is.
Thanks, Bob! I feel better now.... I've wanted one ever since I got smoked by an XB21 BasSport Pro / 300XS on Amistad..... I guess if you are going to get smoked, there's no shame in getting smoked by an Allison.... :big grinI figured I wanted an XB02, and 8 years later I finally had the cake to get one. Had it for 2 years now, and I wouldnt trade it for nothing.

DSRA has a race there May 5-6. You should come out. There will be quite a few Allison's there. Mostly XR2001's but some of just about every kind. Let me know if you come. The Dock is an awesome venue, I'm sure you've beenThanks for all the warm welcomes everybody. Can't wait to call myself an owner of one of these fine machines. I'm from Gulfport MS. by the way
I think that was the first VP race and the "Big Johnson" was the biggest available at the time. :razzRobert, there sure are a lot of two thirsty five Johnsons in that picture.
Many thanks to baitcaster, suicidealli and etnprop for motivational Ally rides and opportunities to pilot their Allys!Thanks, Bob! I feel better now....
