I can't remember he may have took the wood deck off and made the mold.If someone is making these boats now it may be this same mold. I have never seen or heard of an Allison mold but there could very well be one. We have got a 14 foot boat called a Falcon that has a Allison type botton, it runs a modified 40 Yamaha there were a lot of this type of boats build in SC for river racing at one time. The speeds some of them claim are hard to believe. Ours will run in the low 60's they all run tillers.I never thought i would go to a OPC race an not see an Allison, but it happens now.
