When I Grow Up I Wanna Be An Allison ...

[71V153]

Figgered it's time to start a thread:

16' Allison clone. 'Speedcraft' I'm told. Recently acquired from Ultrafast.

Don't reckon Don or I thought it was as soggy's it is, but que sera.

Progress so far:

In her earlier life:

Is this the same boat>
Chris Ray would pull two boats to the ODBA races, that's Trex and Ray bottom picture and Marty with Ray above.
Marty drove the tunnel in your picture.

Ray switched to a 1/4 Master and moved the drivers seat back a few feet ...

I totally remember that dual-trailer setup! I always wondered what it would be like to tow that rig.
Very cool boat project there - keep us updated on your progress. That one looks like it will be fantastic.

Too bad the flake's shot. Musta been a purty boat at one time. She'll look better once I get a lil makeup on her.

A lil makeup and a boob job and she'll be ready to go

Mike was not looking real happy in that pic, whats up with the Eagle One on the trailer?

I used to have to add 40lbs to that boat to make 1050 for V4 comp.

Slowly it started to get heavier and required less weight.

It was really beat up when I bought it. I hope you do something cool with it.

Dave, Mike was never upset.

One time we kicked his cane out from under him in front of a girls Volly Ball team. This really tall Amazon, bent down and picked him up like he was a baby.
He was in luv!

Good times..............

Preciate all the info guys. Thanks!

Yeah Dave I found some lead weights screwed in up under the bow.

Thanks for the pic Cuda, sure looks to be her.

I really dig the flake, but the bottom's just been done in an off white.

Made a cool discovery when stripping and sanding. Might do some kinda skeletonized stripe like so?

[71V153]

Got her 99% gutted. Hope to be ready for glass by the end of the day tomorrow.

Lil more: Got her purty much cleaned up fwd of the knees. Thank God now I can put Big Bertha away ...

Lemme tell ya. You wanna make a mess? I got a tool for you ...

[71V153]

Motor's gonna be the 88 "extra" special. Pushes the lil Baja up to 66.7 til ya lose control. 6200 spinnin a 25 SRX with more motor left.

Any guesses as to how fast it might push this thing?

Anybody know about what these hulls weigh? Someone told me around 330 lbs?

Feels very light to me. (If I can pick it up it must be light ...)

Lil more done today:

If anybody has any story's about, or better yet pics of this boat. Please share.

Thanks!
