how come there isn't an allison boat topic?
I may try to get a little more action from my fellow Ally guys. There is a big following on fastbass.com and allisonowners.com. Seems like the more diehard fishing guys run Tritons, Rangers, etc..... I'll post a link on the other boards and try to get some more action on here for the fishing boards. :-*
you can't fish out of an ALLISON !!!! LOL
Don't know that I could drive an Allison, they are crazy fast. I get to see some of them on the Red River in Shreveport once in a while. Only a couple tournament guys fish them though.
How about a Phoenix topic also? ~fff
With enough interest we can do a separate board. Start a couple topics and if there becomes enough information to warrant it's own board we'll make it happen ~c~
I'm new to this site but have been a member at another site...Screan and Fly...for years. I've had several Allison's buth bass boats as well as closed deck boats. I personaly like the way the Allisons fish. Now I Am By NO MEANS A Tournoment Fisherman anymore but, the Allisons even the small one...XB2002...have a decent live-well, decent storage, are very easy on trolling motors, good rod storage and of corse FAST! I really like this site! Some VERY good information here. Thanks! Mike T.
Welcome to the site Corona Mike ~c~ Looking forward to seeing you around the site. Being an Allison driver I bet you can help out on some of the performance threads when they come up. Do you get to fish much?

Hi Mike and Thanks for the welcome! I'm starting to get back into fishing a little now. I kind of burned out on the performance stuff for now, and figure that as long as I stay away from the tournoment deals and fish for FUN! then, hopefully I can enjoy myself. As far as helping on the performance stuff, I'll be happy to help where ever I can. Look Forward To Meeting several of you! Mike T.
I hear ya about keeping it fun ~c~ I glad you found the site though and look forward to seeing you around.
I fished again out of my XB2002 last weekend, and it's not that bad of a fishing boat. The wind BLEW! all weekend and I didn't have any problems getting where I wanted to go. Livewell kept fish great, and the trolling motor battery stayed up all day. We were fishing both in the wind and against a strong current as the SWFMD folks had every lock on the Kissimmee chain open to let water go south. Also had two other buddies bring XB2002's and two bring there XB2003. so we had five groups of people fishing out of Allisons. Mine was the slowest one there was the only problem. ^-^ ~xyz Still a good weekend of fishing. Mike T.
I agree this is a great site with a ton of good fishing info! I enjoy fishing out of my XB2003. I do get some pretty funny looks at the ramp with all of my rods on the front deck lo It's easy in the wind and handles the rough water great. My only complaint would be storage, there is plenty just not as well laid out like a triton/stratos. Being able to beat the guys to the fishing spots makes up for it though ;)
Because of weight, I didn't figure an Allison would handle rough water well? Good to hear it does! What is the actual weight?
I've never been fortunate enough to drive one :'( but I'd love too!!!
Corona Mike, i had to laugh, "slowest one there" but still doing 90 right :shocking:
Hey Corona Mike good to see you on here I have done some trading with you on S&F a few years ago

Mike Mine is a ...now don't laugh to hard..."tournoment addition" It has all the pumps timers and cleats. It weighs right at 825# There are lighter ones out there but, they have gotten a little hard to find. My buddy Brad Tressler..."allisoon man on S&F" has one a little lighter than mine Probably 800# his is a tournoment model also. My nephew just sold a comp. model his weighed 775# The only REEL LIGHT ones were the 1st. group made they were in the 675-725# range. Yes mine runs a little over 90 with trolling motor batteries fishin' gear lawn chairs etc. as well as my fat azz! It ran 97 stripped. Brads and Andy's boat both run well over a hundred.

Thanks! I'm back to fishing a little. I'll find me another "hot-rod" boat before I retire...in 2 years 2 months and 48 days but who's counting. Until then I'll have to be satisfied with my little ol' bass boat. ;D
I have seen much info about Allisons other than speed.. I have actually seen one in person since fishing the red river last year.. How well do they hold up when fishing lakes like fork when your running into stumps all day? And no I don't mean on plain
I read nothing but good things on Allison boats. How they ride in the rough stuff has been nothing but positive. That would be great to see Allison and Phoenix forums. Build it they will come. ~beer~

Daggum! Yours will do 97 stripped and your gonna look for another "hot-rod" boat ? Thats crazy/awesome ! I would love to drive one ! Never tried stripping mine down lol but still weighs too much for anywhere near 90 , 52 gallons of gas and my big self weigh a lot ! I've been 71.1 when low on gas . What size gas tanks do they have ? First time I've ever seem a picture of one on this thread , look forward to seeing more and welcome to the family !
Bass Fishin & Banjer Pickin ! :)
mike where are you at do you fish caney i've been there three times toledo bend abunch lake fork once falcon lake 4 trips love that lake at home i'm about 5 miles from lake catawatchie i know i spelled that wrong , and i fish canarvon alot if you ever heard of that
I'm about 10 miles north of Shreveport. I fish everything here, but haven't made it to Caney yet. Our local club is looking at it though :-* I spend most of my time on the Red River if I can, I love it out there.
Fork several times and used to get down to Toledo often but the last two or three years it's only been a couple times.
I've owned a Blazer, 3 Bullets and 3 Allisons including the 1 I have now. Great boats.
Joeally, what model and motor are you running?
Xb2003/225X it's a nice rig
