I really like those Ally buckets in the Bullet boats. If I would have kept my last 21 XD that is what I was going to do to it. Also nice when you hook one .. it keeps you in place .. Quote

Expand I like the looks of them but they are far from being as comfortable as the original high-backs. No where near as much padding---You're limited as to how much you can have because of the way the cover fits the shell. As to hooking--This is my third 20 footer and this is the only one that has done it. Had my 300 pound partner literally in my lap and it did it at only 45 MPH. Can't imagine doing it at 90 plus as a friend of mine did in his Allison. Quote

A-Jay Expand Bullets are light-weight hulls that owners setup and expect to run. Setup to fish they are heavy so a high pitched 3-blade prop has a hard time getting the boat on plane. A 4-blade prop will lift the bow and stern allowing for a better hole shot and top speed. Not all 4-blade props are designed to run at high transom heights. Very few Bullet/Allison owners run a 3-blade for these reasons. Some super light Allison's and a few light-weight Bullets set up to run for top speed can and will run a 3-blade but you can bet they are surfacing/sub-surfacing 3-blades for racing applications. You can't tell from the pictures but my boat will barely get on plane without the Allison Hole-Shot Plate that is installed. Many will say a boat that needs a planer board is not set up correctly. They have never set up a light weight boat loaded down to fish! 1 Quote

DINK WHISPERER Posted September 15, 2017 Posted September 15, 2017 My latest toy, a 96 ProCraft 185 Dual Pro. Purchased from original owner in mint condition, hardly ever used. I've already redone the decals and added a keel shield, recessed trolling tray, Lowrance hook 9, boat buckles and rod buckles. I'm also installing dual power poles as soon as we get power back here in S FL. Thanks a lot Irma! And my first fish caught out of it. 10 Quote
WestBranch Posted September 22, 2017 Posted September 22, 2017 And the fish did trembled in fear, knowing that the small lakes and streams hidden deep in the forest were no longer safe.Yes little fishies, be afraid, be very afraid. 13 Quote
DINK WHISPERER Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 Well, we finally got power back and I finished my power pole install. After trying many possibilities, I had to lose half of a dry storage box to mount the pumps. Went ahead and added a master cut off safety switch too. 6 Quote
