Does anybody know the APBA Kilo world record for Bass Boats ?
Sounds like this is a claim of much faster.

To answer ones question we must know how much HP was on the boat.for
there are many bass boat records with different motor configurations,and
bottoms. please specify! .JODY.

After seeing several replies on this subject it seems there are several
people who have not encountered one of these Allisons. Just wait, you
will. Some words of wisdon (WOW) if you can't break 100 put your
raincoat on 'cause you're gonna get wet.
I am an ex outboard drag boater (picklefork tunnels with V8) and have
ridden in and raced against several Allisons, including 1 Bass boat
version. It is Allison's drag boat hull with a bass boat top deck. I
know for a fact that the drag version (1400lb. class) will break 100
with a bone stock 200hp Yamahopper on a 1 mile run, not in the 1/4.
With the right setup and including the extra r's and hp in a 2.5
Merc/Mariner I don't see why it would not break the century mark. It
has been a few years and the guy at the drags with the Bass version ran
in the stock class and, I believe, had a carbureted 200 Merc. I don't
recall his speeds, but this was 1/4 mile and we are talking top end.
If anyone is interested the Deep South Racing Association (DSRA) runs
only outboards and competes in Lousiana, Arkansas, Texas, Mississippi,
and Alabama. You will see many Allisons at these events - probably some
Bass versions also. You will also see some 200# hull, nitrous injected,
alky burning hydros running in the unlimited class. These are
incredible to see. The technology is mind boggling. Ro Yale's (are you
listening) uses a fixed, extremely short shaft motor with a rudder -
this is an outboard! He said the swivel/tilt bracket was too heavy. He
also doesn't wear underwear or sunglasses to save weight. This is
serious stuff at this level.
When I ran with those guys it was always a hoot. These are a close
bunch of folks. It got a lot of us out of the rivers/lakes and into a
sanctioned, competitive, insured, and safe environment. It also
separates the men from the boys and puts the excuses and jaw racers
where they belong - on the trailer. There are classes for almost
everyone.
I'm not sure who is in charge af the DSRA now and don't know if they
have Web presence. If I find out I'll post it. 'Till then, have fun,
go fast, and be safe so you can do it again when you can make it go
faster!

there are lots of boats (lake racers ect.) faster than APBA records show.
For instance, for a mod vp (tunnel V) at one time the record with a 2
litre was 94.33 mph, well how many did we know of at that time running
well over 100 mph? Although 100 plus is awful fast for a bass boat, the
Allison bass boat is capable of such speeds with the right engine to boat
ratio. For instance, an 18' allison with a Merc EFI should in fact run in
the upper 90's with ease whereas put a heavier OMC with same hp and it
runs much slower. The wieght/CG difference has all to do with the speed
vs handling of the boat. Guess it all goes back to the basics where a
boat no matter what kind will only go as fast as the hull will let it.

Actually, the Allison bass boats I have seen utilize the same mod vp
bottoms as their performance hulls. They might be a tad more heavy, but
with a 2.5 EFI propped for top end, a properly set up jack plate, and an
experienced driver, 95-100 mph is not out of the question.

Bass & Walleye Boats featured a test on the Allison XB-2003 bass boat
with Merc 225 Pro Max = 90+ mph on every pass. NOTHING short of an air
trapper beats the Allison bottom design. 100+ mph with a 2.5 is almost
"guaranteed".
