Allison's at the Toyota Owners Bassmaster Tournament

[Johnny Maxwell]

I fished the Toyota Owners Bassmaster Tournament this weekend with Jonathan Bowling. There were 2 Allison's in the field, best as we could tell. Both were DC XB21's. I bet I got asked about 30 times how fast my boat would go. Best comment came from Ott Defoe before blastoff. He said you guys may not win the tournament but you darn well are gonna win the race. LOL. We didn't race and held it down to a civil speed but to hear about every pro fisherman speak so highly of our boats was cool. They all knew about the ride and fuel economy. Educated bunch of guys they are!

Where was that at?

[white gambler]

Cool to hear

[NOTGSXR]

Interesting! You mean they knew they aren't just go fast boats?

[Johnny Maxwell]

Where was that at?

Hooken the tourney was held on Pickwick Lake.

One of them was probably Dr. Ray Baker.
He comes on here from time to time.

Is he out of NC?

[K-DAWG]

Wonder if Dr. Baker is the original owner of my boat. I was told the original owner was a doctor.

[Props4u2]

Ray is in Alabama.

The XB-21 BasSport Pro that he has now is his first Allison.

Props4u2,

I have been out of the net for a few days, Props4u2 is correct my current Alison is my first. I was at the Toyota Owners tournament, I saw Johnny for a moment. I got the same response "How fast will it go"

I live in Huntsville but have a lake place on Guntersville.

[Raya]

Sorry K-Dawg, I am a Dr. but not the one you are looking for. I spent the last 5 years living in D.C. before moving to Huntsville.

I was on Guntersville Friday and Saturday for my boys high school tournament and as usual, I spent most of my morning before blast off answering questions about my XB21. And yes, the "how fast will that Allison run?" was asked more than once.

But, I did have a nice guy tell me he has a buddy with one and he was really impressed with the rough water ride. After talking to him a while I realized his friend was Johnny's nephew who bought the first XB21 that Johnny bought (I helped him locate it online back then). Small world and great boats!

That is a good story Joe. The great thing about having our boats is there just isn't a million of them out there. The circle of owners and relationships is pretty small really.

I have only been scared in a bass boat once in my life. It was in an Allison at Lake Mead in the fall one year while practicing for the U.S. Open. My god, I have never seen speed till I rode in that boat. It was awesome.

Johnny Maxwell there was another xb21 2 seater dual console at Florence this past weekend while we was having our tournament. It was white and red with a 300xs and twin white power poles. The gentleman said he was from Arkansas although I failed to get his name. He had a propane heater on the front deck sitting in a milk crate.

I was told that the total is still under 100 not sure if that is correct but that was a year ago. Not sure if that was good info but it did come from a Allison owner.

[NOTGSXR]

Definitely alot more than 100..

He sounds like he is an old man like me. The heater is something I used many times too when doing the high school captain thing.

Doc I don't fish Guntersville a whole lot but I am up there enough to keep it interesting. I live in Priceville and have a place on Wheeler. Generally I'll be found around Pickwick. Sometimes give me a shout and we can go wet a hook. Many of the guys on here come to my place and show me how to catch those smallies. LOL
