    Are Allison's getting wider?

    Just saw the new colors released on facebook, sweet looking by the way, and to me it looks like the front deck is wider than usual. Is this a new designed wider deck or optical illusion?

    Doing the lighter interior option against a darker color beside it tricks the eye a tick to make it seem that way. (wider)

    And also the pedal recess has been recently made wider so that may effect the way they eye sees the front overall.

    I would be curious to know the measurement from the outside edge of the tray to the interior edge of the gunnel. I sure does look wider. And if the tray is wider that should actually make that area I described smaller.

    I believe White Gambler in his description plus the fact no trolling motor is installed adds to the illusion.

    Just went to garage to measure for you.
    15.5 in from front of pedal well to gunnel
    18.5 in from rear of the pedal well to gunnel. Mine does have the slightly larger new pedal recess.

    Good point without trolling motor. Agree that adds to the illusion as well.

    Could also be the camera angle and distance. take that same picture from rear facing forward and it would look narrow.
    Soon as it warms up I'll go make the same measurments on mine.

    Its because the top is the same color as the carpet and it makes it look bigger.
