apx weights, xb21 2000lbs and z21 2500lbs. How did you estimate 10 times lighter? wow, where did you go to school? Allison racing boat? They have many models get your facts straight. Flimsy? Your 519 cannot perform on rough water vs any 21 footers. I’m not saying Allison is the best boat in the world but they have many models so get your facts straight.
Lets just compare Z21 vs Xb21 Bassport Pro both w/250 Merc Pro XS. Z21 weighs 1900lbs, man + full gear = apx 2500lbs, 52 gallon tank and outputs apx 170 mile range. Xb21 weighs 1400lbs, man + full gear = apx 2000lbs, 30 gallon fuel tank and outputs apx 200 mile range and do 90+mph. Good luck at the pump and don’t say the Allison xb21 Basport Pro sucks in rough water b/c obviously you’ve never been in one. Can’t say the same for the xb2002 and xb2003 weighing 800lbs.
Stop lying to these people. You do not get avatar videos. You get a sunk’n ranger which is supposed to float. Foam filled? Did you know that spray foam in time from vibrations and condensation it will become weak and absorbent? I’m not saying cookie cutters aren’t great fishing boats, all are great fishing boats but aren’t built to last. Allison do not have spray foam but High density PVC foam core in hulls.
doesnt take much to run down an old three series with a tired omc on it
Custom weld cobra se 51mph top speed but can go up rapids!!! Jet Boat For life!! Prop less!!!
@TheAeroncachief I’m not saying Allison makes a bad boat, but in tournaments, I FLY past skeeter’s, allisons, and the other “fast” boats in my 07 z21/250 merc proxs. You know why? Unless the water’s absolute glass, they can’t run flat out. the medium/large sized lakes around here get rough. I can run flat out in my more solid/heavier ranger while they’re taking a beating in their “fast boats”
@Eyefishalot first off, when you cut and paste that, you get avatar videos…wtf. second, the newer rangers CAN’T sink because they’re foam filled, and the foam itself floats.
@FastRebel lol no, but we SHOULD leave driving cars 200mph up to professionals, which is a more accurate comparison. I have a ranger z21 with a 250 proxs on it, does about 72ish, plenty fast for me. it might not be 78 like a skeeter, but it is FAR better when the water’s rough, NO COMPARISON. also, ranger’s shine when the trolling motor’s down – can’t beat fishing out of a z comanche
Every boat is sinkable. Yes, even Rangers! With the weight, it’ll sink faster. Forget the ranger company test video, its balony. Check out this ranger in the real world test. Cut and paste, “167_6707.AVI”
@rb2268 whatever dude, i love high performance bassboats, granted it takes common since but nothing is more fun then hauling ass across a lake to get to a favorite fishing spot. have fun with your 50mph!
@rb2268 Wow you sound like an Obama supporter!
@fixitman21 one it takes longer to drive to were ever he wants to fish and he might fish spots on the way there
Here’s my question. Why do you launch so damn far from where you fish?
@rb2268 bro you are dumb
Wow. An Allison passed a Ranger. Big deal.
@pearldrummerbt123 Come on dude, it’d be easier to just admit you are a 16 year old. Lol, you’re not fooling anyone. I have no doubt that you have fished out of a ranger before but seriously man, you’re still a kid. If you had of been more constructive in your criticism towards Allison boats, you might have been more believable. But I’m sorry man, your TWO initial post gave that away.
My best is 9.5 on good ole’ Sam Rayburn.
@TheAeroncachief the video of my son???? ranger z21 comanche with evinrude e-tec 250 best bass 8.8 lbs….
@pearldrummerbt123
You’re not 41 and you don’t own a lead sled. You are a 16 year kid who happens to be good on the drums.
I have an 07′ XB-21 Pro, 250 XS…best speed to date 95.4.
@TheAeroncachief hahaha your 53 and you play around a youtube ! hell im 41…..thats just wierd…….and i own a ranger z21 comanche…….what type of boat do you have?
@pearldrummerbt123
Nobody likes little boys pretending to be experts. Thanks for playing.
@rb2268 not true its impossible to go over 75 if you cant drive
@rb2268 not true its impossible to go over 75 if you cant drive
@TheAeroncachief nobody likes immature adults arguing with little boys……
@rb2268
That’s not even the point.
Some of us LIKE to go fast AND fish too…pro tourny guys should be the only fast guys huh? Do you even have a clue what little it takes to CALL yourself a “proffesional tournament fisherman”? Entry money you numbnuts.
@pearldrummerbt123
LOL!!
Is that the best you got little boy? You have proven time and time again that you do not know a DAMN thing about Allison bass boats and yet you continue on like you are some bassboat/fiberglass expert. Besides, when someone as ignorant as you has to flash their “fishing prowess”, it usually means you are nothing but dumb internet warrior and have no relevance in the fishing community.
If you can’t run with the big dogs, stay on the porch.
