Not one response? 18’ Allison ?? - Need information from the group.

[Pretty Work]

Hi all, new member in search of a project boat. I’m currently looking at what the owner believes is an 18’, built in the early 70’s. Boat will be a full restoration. Can anyone share any history on this hull? More importantly, has anyone run one or, better yet, is anyone running one now?

You didn't give enough information to get a response! Is it a bass or ski boat? Are you sure it was early 70's? Post a pic an someone will respond.
