a war eagle is an aluminum heavy built boat. my dad has two of them. its what we mainly fish out of.... i really dont like fishing out of the allison because the person in the back tends to bang up cowls with half ounce spinnerbaits lol. we mainly crappie fish but on rend and the river the crappie like the stumps and i dont like banging up my ally so it usually stays home when fishing.

Ya know Ill bet of all the boats out there Allisons rank near or at the top of repete buyers. Ive seen so many sell there Allisons some times to try other makes and post. {Im Back!!} Shortly after. :banghead
Theres just nothing like the feeling an Allison gives you after a hard day at work then going out on the lake putting everything behind you. Litterly!!

Well put whipper. I've wanted an Allison since the first time my dad and I got smoked on the river by an XB02. Now that I have one I don't think I'll ever sell it. Nothing on the market comes close to the quality, speed, and family friendly design of the XB03/XB21.

No problem! Good idea to keep her! I'd be willing to hazard a guess that you'd be hard-pressed to find another one as clean as that one once seller's remorse sets in!!!!
Im not too far from Rend, in the STL... I just got a slow 200 though most days I top out around 82 and ill run 80 as long as the wind isn't blowing the nose around...also xxx2001 keeps telling me there is a place on the Kaskaski river that is awesome to run but I haven't made it ther with him yet. I run on the MS river quite often with a former allison owner, who now runs a Fascat with a 300X we will run down to grafton and up the IL river usually. He has a b uddy with another 2003 that will occationally run with us.

Its on the upcoming events forum on screamandfly, tentative weekend of July 30 weekend I had a lot of fun even though it started to rain after lunch...I hope to make it again this year but I have a little one coming in June....
Last year about 25 boats showed up I think 6 or 7 allisons, 6 or 7 classic hydrstreams, some tunnel hull boats, a couple jet boats, a skater with twin 2.5's, a fastcat, a 10' long tunnel that ran about 60, a plate boat with a modified 280 that was pretty fast...I think the fastest allison there was a XTB with a 260 that put 100.00 on his handheld, said it was the best he ever ran.

Glad to hear this news. The little one also. My kids have grown up with boating and are better for it I believe. Or at least thats what I tell the wife.:big grin We have an Annual boat trip for a month every summer same place same people. They look forward to this each year. Priceless!!
You would be hard pressed to ever buy another 03 as nice as yours at any price. You have a sick combo and an allround fishing<skiing,cruiseing family craft that will blow the doors of 99.9% of all boats on the water!!
Allison boats built to last an entire life time. No rought and pretty as heck!!
