New-to-me Allison SS2000/15" 2.5 280

[NICE PAIR]

You guys are girlie-men, I choose the boats in this family.

p.s. My wife lets me say **** like that. (Good choice Dale)

And she does better out in the big water than my buddies do![/QUOTE]

Hey you lil fuktard, that was a low blow!!!

[Capt.Insane-o]

Hey everybody look at me! I've finally degraded myself to yore level and got myself a bitchin'.......what's that dear? **** me you just got scared at all the spinnin' out threads going on.

[whipper]

Not sure what is so pathetic about not wanting to own another boat that I will always have to boat by myself in? I've already got a boat that I drive only by myself, I don't need another one.......

I would sell the BB hydro and keep the 280SS. The SS is more prctical and just as much fun in the acceleration department all most. That is one sweet looking direct drive i must say though. What speeds in the 1/4 does your Blown Hydro run?

It's a good thing Shorty finally got her way, after putting up with thousands of miles of you driving her around the Delta in a blown Sanger shovelnose!

Come on Rob, I didn't say WHICH friends didn't do well out in the rough! It certainly wasn't you and Tamara - you two obviously liked it so much that you went and bought yourselves a big water boat.

Lol........I used to spin out just for fun! You can ask anyone that knows me, I was born without the fear gene.

Hahaha, comparing the acceleration of an Allison to a BAH is like comparing a Honda Civic to a new Tesla "Ludicrous Mode". Being an open cockpit hydro, we are limited to 1,000' and 165mph. The best pass so far has been a 5.03 @165.4mph (on the 9,200rpm rev-limiter @ 800'). It pulls just over 3Gs going down the track. If we were allowed to run 1,320' and wanted to run a big mph, we could put a big gear in it and run 200mph.

Well, my initiation into the Allison owner's club came to an abrupt halt when the girlfriend said she wouldn't set foot in that little rocket! When we first got together, she'd go out in my Mirage, then the 21' Trick, and so on. But after the last 4 years of not having anything smaller than the 28, she said she won't get in a little performance boat again. So, unless I want to boat by myself a lot of the time, I'm better off not buying another little hot rod. My loss is your guy's gain though, as Dan will soon be posting his ultra-clean Allison in the classifieds here. I've attached some more pics of the rigging and engine for those that might have an interest in it........

Sent you a PM.

Thank you,

John
