color

Does Allison offer lots of colors? I was under the impression your choices were limited. The reason im asking on the way home from Florida Monday i was around Cullman and seen an Allison i think it was 2002 but it was a really pretty teal flake and white boat and that was the first time i have ever seen one that color.

I think they will build a boat any color you want. No flake. When you start talking Black well Nancy starts to get a little nervous.

If it had flake it wasn't an Allison or someone sprayed new gel.

[bassworm1]

I figured somebody had it resprayed because i never seen one that color but it looked great!!!!!The only other flake one i have seen was a guy on fastbass had it a few years ago it looked great too!!

[K-DAWG]

Never seen or heard of one with flake.

[fishnfireman]

I'm sure someone has done flake to an Allison or two..
Was told they would do any color on the top cap you wanted -- just no flake and no black hulls !
Had to do some fast talking with Nancy when ordering this boat just to get a yellow hull !! At that time Darris said there would be no more dark hulls -- even quit doing red hulls for some time. Since then he has done a few more red hulls but no black.

A couple of years ago I was thinking about ordering a new boat. I called and asked all the important questions like basic colors, custom colors etc. At that time there was a $2K up-charge for getting any boat with custom colors and only some colors would be acceptable. The current time to get a boat built is about 3 months. Add another 6-8 weeks for a custom color. That is what I am told anyway. I'd agree no flake is ever going on a boat as long as Darris is alive and able to kill anybody that does it in the factory. LOL

Over the years I've read about a few people trying to get Darris to build a black boat & it always ended the same way

I remember several years ago that someone restored an Allison with flake, it was a unique boat for sure.

I wanted a black hull Nancy talked me out of it and I am glad she did. About two weeks after I picked mine up there was a black hull that roiled out of there. It looked fantastic.

Just curious, why no black (or dark) hulls?

[fishnfireman]

Was (told)--- dark colors especially black absorbed to much heat and could cause issues with the hull.
Also told there would never be factory hydraulic steering on one--- Dealer told me there would never be a 3ltr / heavy weight motor mounted on a 2003 by an Allison dealer or Darris would pull there dealership.

guess there is some truth to the saying (never say never) !!!

Interesting. Wonder what the issues were/are? I like black hulls, never thought about potential differences besides black seems easier to keep clean haha
