What do you think of this incredible Allison tunnel boat?

I've never seen that boat, or even a picture of one. The only Allison tunnel I've ever seen wasn't similar. Darris had an outrigger lookin' boat at NOA kilos one year, but it wasn't related to that one. It's gotta be one of the coolest boats I've ever seen.

Boy............... talk about somethin' I'd love to have to put one of my OLD engines on.

Who the hell parked it in that mud

Can't say the Allison family didn't go out on tangent trying new designs

I've only seen the Allison tunnel that has the wing between the forks of the sponsons. There is one up here, it's missing the wing and all the rigging, not in the best of shape, but really cool.

**ALLISOMAN280** · 07-08-2005, 11:52 AM

just think of how many boats out there used a design or copy of something allison has done in there boat designs today and in boats being made today!!!

Wow that 58 model is really sharp....looks like a 14 aristocraft in the background with a scott on the back....do ya think they could hold their own against the merc 58a?

**Ted Stryker** · 07-08-2005, 04:22 PM

Nearly every V-boat maufacturer has borrowed and idea or design from Allison in my opinion... I HAVE NOT DRIVEN EVERY BOAT, but of the ones that I have driven, an Allison can be recognized even if you were behind the wheel blindfolded....

Yes, those Scotts would blow the doors off Mk58's ... 60 hp vs 40 hp ... the fair comparison is the 42ci Scott .... and yep again .... 42ci Scotts regularly wooped Mk58's, 450's and 500's. Merc dominance of E did not begin until Mac outboards were in their death throws
