nothing wrong with them, but I am not a fan.
Always thought they looked more like a space shuttle than a boat.

Back in the day (80s) I believe Allison bass boats had tunnel hulls .
When in doubt set the hook..Retie often

I have the Bassport Pro's little brother and I've only seen one but I will own one someday.
They are not the fastest 21 foot bass boat but they are the best overall fast bass boat on the planet. I figure a 300XS like HasBen has is a high 90's or maybe 100 mph boat. His is a slightly different layout and is a couple mph's faster than the Bassport Pro.
My boat rides good in rough water and these 21 footers are supposedly much better. They also are less tippy than my 20 footer.
They will not only run away from most of the top sellers but they will turn faster and get much better fuel efficiency.
An older Allison with an older style interior layout is the XTB. Its 21 foot and much lighter than the new 21's. They quit making those in the mid 90's.

I look at my Allison like you might consider a Corvette or Viper. They are somewhat of a compromise, but you will never forget the first time you drive one.

As I get older and the doctors says it time to sloooooooow way down and relax, I would consider a Ranger. Until then, I'll stick with the Allison. Both are great boats, just different strokes.

You better be willing to learn how to drive a boat. It's not a sit back with a cold one and hammer it. If that boat will push the upper 80s (and I'm sure it will), you could really mess something up.

I've never fished from one, but if they are anything like my Bullet the wind will blow it around more than other boats. My only complaint really. I'm assuming it would be the same since they are so light.
