Is this 13 foot for sale?? Does anyone know where a 13 foot Allison is???

333, red and white does look a little like Lewis Collins OLD COLORS...but....and Collins was from Texas...

Louis is #85 from Waco. It might be Corky Callahan's boat.

That is John Calley's ep boat. John switched to an Oasis boat after the Allison. John also sponsered Roddy Foreman in SST60.

thanks for the info.what setup would this boat have in this class?.when i got it it had a four cyl. merc. 50 hp motor with regular teleflex nfb steering on it.it had a hole thru the transom which i'm guessing the trim cyl. went thru.
i've got an 84 70 hp evinrude with a 15" mid and a nitro gearcase that's going on it.it's had fingerports added and the ports raised a little,lightened pistons and wristpins and the head has been milled and grooved for o-rings.the one holdup is the trim,any suggestions would be appreciated.

thanks,Allen

ps. Ron this one isn't for sale,but i'll keep my eyes open.

75 stinger, 1 1/2" setback, 1/2" up off the transom, tank right behind the seat, cable steering, 3 blade omc cleaver 21" pitch, and put 15 lbs in the nose if you dont weigh much. You dont have to set the motor back if you dont want to but most of the guys who raced with 13' Allisons around here did. I had a 14' Allison that didnt need any setback. To make the 840 lb race weight most people had to add a considerable amount of weight to be legal for EP. Johnny will get a kick out of knowing his old boat is still around. He probably still remembers his exact race setup.

PS. Back in the day power trim was not legal for EP. We would run some kind of thrust jack on the lower transom. Toward the end of EP power trim was legal along with the covered deck. For trim on the SE boats we would use the old mercury ram (cut off large eye) with an adapter bracket that bolted to the motor.

Hey Allen, looks like fun!

I Know A Guy That Had A 12' Allison. I Never Knew They Made One. I Saw His And It Is Awful Small. He Said It Is 12'. It Sure Looks A Lot Smaller Than A 13. He Might Still Have It.
