Mr. Allison owns pretty much every patent having to do with what makes a bass boat a bass boat. From what I have studied up on over the years(because owning an Allison is on my bucket list) they are one of, if not the best built bass boat on the market. The Ally cost 70 gs because it's worth itWe can all say thank you to Mr. Allison for the boats we have, even though they aren't Allisons because through his pioneer engineering is the only reason our boats are as good as they are today.
