    Visited Allison yesterday

    I had the opportunity to visit the factory yesterday and meet Nancy, Darris, and several other fine folks that work there. I also got to thoroughly crawl all around my new boat and was very pleased with everything that I saw. The attention to detail was very good (and I'm very particular) I'm hoping my 250R shows up as planned by the end of the month. I can't wait to get this thing in my garage. I got a walk through the shops from Nancy, grabbed some Allison gear from their new merchandise shop upstairs, which looked great. I had the pleasure of grabbing lunch with the Allison's and thoroughly enjoyed soaking up the stories Darris shared along with a lot of other knowledge of his engineering background he spoke about. I can tell just in the quick time I was around Todd, Darryl, and Trent that they are a great group of people who take pride in what they do. All of that to say it made me even more excited to join the Allison family. I'll post some pics when I get her home.

    Kind of a battleship grey base color to match the grey leather interior color. Black stripe with petty blue pin stripe.

    You’ll love the boat more once you get it on the water especially with the 250r shoving you.
    Congrats!
