22ft Allison GrandSport who would buy one?

[Farmer]

Now hold on a bit, I’m not saying I could afford one but look at the prices of new wake board boats or decked out bass boats there well in the $100’s. If he makes one and gets advertising to the people other then little race boat people “20 and below” it should work.

My brother has been running with this crowd for around 20 years now and it’s interesting how when he shows up at an event there’s quite a few people that know of him. That shows how small of a group scream and flyers are. Plus how many of you guys know who has owned at one point every boat that shows up for sale on here lol. In a few years these boats might be forced into instinct-ion. If he can market this larger boat to the new generations money makers it will broaden the group and bring more people into this “go fast” lifestyle. So we all don’t eventually die off taking our 2 stroke boats with us.

Seriously wow

[Da Bull]

I`m not surprised. How long has this new boat been in the works? Boat builders don`t take this long on a new design.

[CUDA]

Crazy Mad Dan would know ...

How ya doing buddy?

[DOUBLE J]

Yes the original plug was destroyed but... he’s been testing another plug for sometime....

[mikesufka]

Ok....horsee's mouth, just talked to Bill @ 10:30am 4/2/18...nothings been destroyed.
Improvements only, still trying to get a handling concern eliminated.

A V bottom with no chine walk would move our world forward - at least it would if anyone was designing building new hulls. Other than Tuff is anyone doing new hulls?

[marks86]

Kevin at progression is still building

[David]

A few are building hulls but I only see new designs from Tuff.

As much as I like Progression I don’t think Kevin is doing any new designs. I guess there’s an argument for not messing with perfection!

I’ve heard Progression’s boxy lines and graphics criticized as “80’s” or “outdated,” but I prefer to think of them as “timeless” and “classic” good looks! Some of the “modern” design powerboats look terrible to me!

What fun is a boat that doesn’t require driver imput? Make the damn boat and give us a bow rider option

Mike im sure you've seen these spy shots. There not that revealing for sure. Its the new 23ft GS plug hull with an already made 20ft SS deck stretched and plastered on for testing. Note how wide the hull is on the trailer for the 20fters. Mine doesn't stick over the fenders at all. the whole hull is within. The free board is way more also. 87 with a bone stock old 225 3.0l and a 27 wheel!! she looks a lot bigger!

So what ever happened with this 23 foot model? Dead??
