Did you see this? Sounds like you have a taker!!

Sorry to burst your bubble, but I have had a long standing bet with anyone who would take me up on it. A trip from KY Lake Dam to the US 68 Bridge and back, mid summer, weekend, mid afternoon. The requirements are 5500 rpm steady, with a rider to validate the run in both boats. No one has taken me up on the offer in over 12 years of it being open. The GAMBLER 2100 or 2200 would make the Allison look like a bobber caught in a gail on that lake. The Gambler will be smoother, more controlled and a whole lot easier to drive. Against other boats that are known for their rough water ability, such as a Champion, it would simply out run them at 5500 rpm. On light boats such as your Alley, you simply cannot maintain 5500 rpm in that kind of water, and you will be forced to back off. Not so in any Gambler of size. Now, I am a fan of Allison and Darris in particular. He is a genius at making a boat very light, yet still reasonably strong. But be aware, you are making claims about your Allison that sheer physics will not allow you to back up. In the process you do harm to the very brand you wish to promote. Darris makes a fine boat for doing those things that he designed them to do. That would be like me saying that a Gambler can pull a skier better than a Master Craft. Yes it can pull a skier, no doubt, but that is not what it was designed to do. An Allison is a racing boat that you can fish out of. It is made with the go-fast crowd in mind. The Gambler was designed, from day one, as a tournament fishing platform, and it does that job better than anything I am aware of.
