Forum | Allisons for sale

Well the 833,wasnt any work that went bad and is seperate id take the 4500 and run,along with anything there I owned,as for pricing you can get a boat with a motor from a private person for that kind of money.My opinion hes getting his 4500 back in that deal.Like the legend hull I put in the post with pics above,its like new rigged ready,it would easily pass even the souped triton.Yet a triton hull isnt a bad fishing platform,each to his or her own,guess you just have to make up your mind is all.

The problem with that deal is it's my 4500.00 we're talking about and thus far has only been offered as part of a deal that ends up putting me in debt to the tune of 31K for a 5 year old Gambler hull with a 2009 225 Pro XS on it…. Not exactly what I'd call a to die for deal. Plus the engine n' derigging would never had been done were it not for the repairs so I consider it a package deal… If the dealer wants to keep the 833.95 he's gonna have to get right on the hull and then I may consider it. I need to come in under what those boats are selling for today so I can sell it while not taking a beating and get myself into some other boat…

After talking with several guys in my ABA district and lookin' at a few boats closer than I had before I'm really leaning towards the following 3 hulls that are listed in no particular order at this time. As or if the time comes to make a decision I'll have researched them a little more and will probably then be able to put them in some kind of choice order.

1.) Statos 201

2.) BassCat

3.) Champion

I know Champion may or may not be around much longer and this will carry some weight. Not that I care about warranty or anything like that. But I'd think trying to sell a boat that is no longer in production may be a tad difficult.

If I can get the dealer to give me a stellar deal on the 2100 I may go that route and then turn around a sell it. I'm still researching prices on the 2005 2100. On his web site he's asking 36,900. for it with an 2006 250 Pro XS. What I'm seeing on the internet is prices almost 10,000.00 less than his asking price. I suspect that was the asking price when he put it on his web site nearly 2 years ago…. Might of been worth it then. On NADA it average retails for 27,250 B/M/T. Low retail is 23,880. The engine average retail is 7,775 and low retail is 6,800. The latest offer has him pricing the B/M/T @ 27k then taking low retail, 6k, off for the engine. So now he wants 21k for the boat and trailer less 4,500 I paid for the glass repair(he wants to keep the 833.95 paid for removing engine and hyd. steering and batteries) which brings the total to 17k for me. Does not appear to be a good deal for me!

Well really the only Allisons I'd consider would be the BassSport or ProSport lines… And I can't get one for what I'm willing to pay I bet.

The reason The X series Trition won't hit but 69-72 is the hull…. It's designed for rough water conditions. It planes out quick and rides good. They make the TR-21 xHP that'll run(so I've been told) 82 but the dealer also told me you do "… have to drive it at that speed)…. he followed up by saying not everyone is capable of driving that boat at that speed.

The dealer that has my boat called Friday while I was prefishing. He's made his initial offer though he has not seen the letter I sent him. As it stands right now he's wanting to sell me a 2005 Gambler 2100 hull/trailer less engine for around 17k. This particular boat has been on his showroom floor for over a year that I know of and it could be 2 years or better. There's a reason why I'd suspect. I'd still consider it but his initial asking price is so high I think there's too much difference between what he thinks it's wort and what I think it's worth for a deal to ever take place on that bot.

On the loaner boat I have…. Saturday the bow Lowrance sonar quit working. Today after I trailered out… one trim tab will not retract. That had to happen right at the ramp as I was trailering out. I had just made the haul'butt run back to the ramp and if that trim tab had been down….. that Intimidator would of been runnin' on the rub rail! And I'm willing to consider a 2100 of the same year??? Someboddies slap me!

Yeah I know you can hang some high winding 2.5's on those hulls and do some wicked things in them or if your aren't careful have 'em do some wicked things to you.

I don't know that I'm over the "need fer speed" but I do know my need has never exceeded about 97mph. 80-85 and I'm quite happy. Recently thinking hard about a 21XS triton but just don't know if I deal with a 250 Pro XS pushing a boat only 69-72mph.

I do know I've grown pretty weary of getting beat-to-death in moderate to heavy stuff that was the trait of my old Gambler….

Some put them on them but they have a 3 litre warning voids any warrenty on an older boat their is none but they say that for a reason as the weight high up makes them squirrly.

They also have a 400 or 408 weight motor restriction and a recomendation of 150 hp but no one pays att to that ,most have 2.5 litre mercs on them,im an oddball with a johnny rude 200.(weight right at 408-15-as shorty)

But with that hull one really doesnt neeed the additional hp they go mid 70s with a merc 150,several 95 models from 7k to 10 k and one 2000 for 12k.

Screamnfly and fastbass.

A 2003 has a tad longer keel and is recomended 440 weight 175 hp,it also has a 3L warningbut many put them on anyway as the transom is strong as an ox,its on there mostly due to possible swamp or handling problems.

About the only ones that dont have that limitation are the sport models like pro sport etc ,and much more costly.

So in effect I wouldnt put that 3.0   on a 2002 or 2003,trade it for a smaller yes or look at other brands as they are like one president nick named tricky dicky.

It doesnt take much to fly in one ,sawing atarts at about 56,ph,more input than any ive ever driven,what it really takes once one gets it up is a landing zone,as harder to get down than up ,do it slowly take foot off throttle abruptly and can launch a passenger,as boat hooks sharp to the right.So its not for everyone.

Feels like a 17 ft boat as narrow,runs like a 20 ftr in waves,leaps tall buildings in a single bound,more powerfull than a locomotive,yeah its a rush.Also scares the living daylights out of me learning at times what it can and shouldnt do.

I took it out in a wind storm attempting to find out what it would  do,went out in 3 fters came back off plane in 5 fters,and had steve facing rearward,not only to keep drier but think he didnt want to see how high they were over the boat.Had I any sence would have parked it on the other sides ramp and walked back over the bridge and got truck and trailer.

Be as it may it got us in,regardless of the idiot behind the wheel.

I do iknow of two different 95 model composite xb 2002 are for sale,one yellow one sharp,10 k setup for a merc,other a red one for 7k and can have a merc 225 efi for additional 5 k.

Both are on scream n fly
