@Eyefishalot shut up i owned a ranger 185vs and we forgot to put the plug in an never noticed it until we was getting on plane

Guy in the Ranger slowed down because he knew there was a sand bar coming up. Allison guy has no clue what's about to happen.

I own a ranger and love the boat, i could give a fuck if the allison is faster. rangers are still better

The troll motor has steel plating under the fiberglass for extra strength,no wood so the boat will never rot, after it fades you can buff it more than boats with metal flake. I mean I could name 1027371938 things that make an allison all around better built boat. It's all in what you like though..as far a speed. It gets no better so put any bass boat next to it and I'm sure you would still have the same results given 225. Allisons are rates for 3 litre motors..suck it up and just accept what ha

My dad recently bought an xb2003 and I fished out of/and rode in for the first time a xb2002 last weekend..placed second in the tournament and took 1-1 1/2 foot waves like a dream. I personally favor gamblers over any boat, they have speed,take rough water just as good as any other bass boat/and look a hell of alot better than all other bb's IMO. But back to the point all this bullshit about allison being cheaply built..you need to own one/work on one before you speak.

@xb21bass. I agree that hull design plays a major role in performance. I don't believe a 90 on an Allison drag or any Allison would achieve 80. I was implying that you can't just bolt on a run of the mill 90 production outboard on the Allison and run 80. Would take lots if set up, seat time. Money and experience. As far as the gas guzzler big blocks, When they say 700 it's prob more like 400 in reality.

@TheDogdiggidy

1958, a  60hp outboard held records of 100 + mph. Achieving top speed has to do more with a boat's hull not horsepower. Look at all those flat bottom, gas guzzling V-8 blocks with 700hp + only doing 60-70mph. Explain?

only on slick water.
