looked like a triton to me

That's what I thought too. Tritons are bad about chine walking. Drive a boat? Who the hell wants a boat you have to fight? I prefer one you can be going WOT and take your hands off the wheel without it flipping.

There is only one you can do that with, STROKER.

Drake...do you know Terry Gibbs from up in your neighborhood? Big Allison guy. I've sold him some parts in the past.

Do they still make Stroker?

Who don't know Ratchet. LOL.

Champions owned Texas for a while, safe, fast , dependable. Then that wanker that bought Ranger bought them too. Another great boat gone. Irwin Jacobs. The Soros of the bass boat world.

"Soros of the boat world" that's a classic right there

I'm pretty sure Chub's still making them. Those big wide bodies will scream with BIG horsepower on them.

He's a bit of a character.

May be a legend, never seen an older one. I've only worked on one that patt Kelly owned and it was a super piece of crap. It doesnt really resemble an Allison but on the other hand, doesn't resemble anything to me really, that's why I said Allison. But it damn sure ain't no triton. And Norris craft is what I was trying to think of, not hydrasport.

Merc pro sport 260hp is the engine yes. We sold Wilson loyd an Allison with a pro sport on it one time. We never even cranked the engine before pulling the powerhead to change the port timing, and several other things. After the mods, that boat would run as fast as a person could drive it. We did 106mph in it with two people, a full tank of gas, 3 batteries and a 24 volt trolling motor, as well as the boat full of rods and tackle.

My old boss used to race a light weight Allison hull he had darris make for him. I can't remember exact weight, something like 700ish pounds. The boat had a Johnson gt200 on it, sitting on a 15" midsection with a v8 gt300 trim unit. That boat would fly. He has the pictures of it hanging on his wall in his office.

Idk on that boat but it looks like an old legend. That there is whatchy call an alien cowel prowmax from i think around 1999. im sure the feller in the video did what bout everbody else did.. He screwd with it. Them old motors came from the factory basically a racin motor an you could mess withem some kinda way..vapor paths maybe somethin to do with the intake,not rememberin off hand but you could doit yourself an ad bout an extra 40hp to an already powerful motor kinda like turnin the fuel up on a 12 valve..weather its a 2.5 or a 3.2 idk but all them old motors would absolutely scream aaand that aint countin the folks that bored the motor over. Seems like the popular combo back in the day was a 20xd bullet an a 3.2L 300hp. I know thats where i saw my first one was pushin a bee colored bullet an he had to be doin a hundred miles an hour. Looked like you jumped on a mustard bottle with both feet.

Yes he is but there is one hell of a waiting list. He has the old hydrostream molds also from what I have read.

I think the only Hydrostream molds Chub has are the Venom molds. Beautiful boat that will haul the mail, but not very useful except for riding or racing.

A perfect example of why 90% of people don't need to own a boat with more than a 20 hp motor.

Agree! People shouldn't own any gun capable of holding more than 1 bullet either! Single shots are all that's needed for hunting or target shooting.

Maybe you shouldn't...I on the other hand, should.

lol great point. We should all be running around like Barney fife

The gun is a metaphor. I'll keep my dangerous bass boats and high capacity magazines.
