I bought it from a dude, probably 1976?. Not sure size, but 13/14 FT tops. Seen similar old Allison's here, S+F. VERY classic, and built like "granite"! He raced it, back then with a 70 3 CYL Merc, against the 75 HP Stinger Rudes.Quote:

Still ran fine, and in good thick water, I kissed 50..not bad, running a Bronze 2 blade. :thumbsup:
Then I sold it, as bought a 150XS, Switzercraft, way FASTER!:eek:
Wish I kept that old Allison, as what I'm messing with now, the flatbottom, is only 15.6 long..maybe 350 pounds loaded boat, 300 the 6 CYL TOP the back,..( me..?..add 200).."what a rush a PUNCH!"
But the Flatty slams by old back silly..
NOW. older and WAY more stupid? I would ..IN A SECOND" shove the TOP mine, 135 HP, 12x24 cup SS blade, on that old Allison..."Roost the bridges, 'RIDE THE PAD!..SOLID BOAT!
Post some pix in a sec, more of what I'm messing with now..the "Flatty"
Not in any order here. pix..my "Flatty"..but the "build"..motor, crank up.."Frankenmerc"..easy 135 HP, and I did the boat too. Then one pic, on the trailer..check out those double fins..the bottom!..spit ya out, a quick turn!
Has a pad, and dropped chines, 1 inch, rides air FINE..flat water..rough water sucks...beats the hell out ya. And the one pic, the back, ya can make out the name..one side is upside down.."Call"..other side..?...upside down.."911" ..get a a lot of laughs off that...:thumbsup:

Thanks Sue, you just have to make Time Stand Still!

Every day is special!
Hi Sue, and everybody.
Good song choice Sue, the words are about the truth aren't they. Time goes fast.
Robby I love that little boat. did you do the work on it? Man that thing looks fun
Yep, I did the hull, setup/rigged. Over winter, a few back. My Merc IL6 Guru, did the motor. He's a freaking WIZARD, IL6's!:thumbsup:
Heres a pic, the start..its an Olsen Flatbottom, not even known, can't google any of it..made in Oregon...guess a quick Biz start, then folded..who knows.
I'll do some "full WOT punch vids, summer.."freaking grin!
Just two stringers, but the hull is like a freaking brick! Trust me..slammed an unseen wake, thought I would bust the transom off, with the motor! Went away fine, but my back hurt for 2 weeks! "Price of having fun?:eek:
