[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 4145545, member: 1132"] Yep! I'm in a 21' Allison XB-21 2+2 Tournament Elite with a Merc Racing 250XS. As far as I know it's the only 4 seat bass boat on the market? I have no idea how fast it will top out at yet, but I've had it to 81mph with two people and a full load of equipment. Saturday we went out with a friend of mine and his wife. Did low-60's to our favorite spot, dropped the Power Poles and trolled for 2.5-2.75mph for the next 5 hours on the big engine. We caught crappie, largemouth, hybrid stripers and others, losing count but somewhere around 25-30 fish total. Did mid to upper 60's back to the dock and all in, used 2.5 gallons of 87 octane gas. An efficient boat is an economical boat! :) We can pitch & wind in the stumps, troll open water for roving schools (I've installed removable rod holders in the side wells), anchor or spot-lock and Livescope for crappie. Over the winter I'm going to build a removable spider rig for slow-trolling crappie and when the heat hits next summer, I may install a high speed bimini top to extend our time on the water. The Allison has a great holeshot and handles like it's on rails, so we [I]could [/I]use it for watersports, we just aren't into that. To me a bass boat is not the perfect boat because there's no such thing. They're just the next best thing if you want to do pretty much any kind of fishing you can do on Oklahoma type lakes. :) Obligatory pics: [ATTACH type="full" alt="1.jpg"]423313[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="4.jpg"]423318[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="5.jpg"]423319[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="6.jpg"]423320[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="8.jpg"]423324[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="9.jpg"]423325[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="10.jpg"]423326[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
