Allison boat owners community. A meeting area for Allison boat enthusiasts.

Just want to tell everyone that we did some on water testing in the Ocean Angler this morning (8:30am) off Raby Bay at Cleveland for some prospective new Allison Team Members from the Sanctuary Cove boat show in 30 knot winds from the north west & metre to a metre and a half seas.
The boat had a Mercury 250 HP Verado with the latest DTS controls, power steer and all the Navman electronics & to say the boat performed beyond the customers expectations would be an understatement. Actually they're weather conditions that you'd probably not normally not get out of bed for to go out in a boat, but for the purpose of showing the customers what the boat could do in those conditions if called upon was a revelation to the six people in the boat.
After getting back on dry land & hooking up the Ocean Angler onto the trailer the prospective customers were going back to our Brisbane dealer, Mr.T's Marine to work out the options that they'd like on their new black & white Ocean Angler 244 & pay their deposit so that they would become official customers when they take delivery of their new Ocean Angler sometime in November.

We might have needed one of them for the weekend...we have sufferred similar conditions for the comp...and to make things worse, got back in Sat night to be told by the dpi that where we were fishing, that a pro had been thru with his nets and had cleaned the area out, and no one was catching much at all....makes you a bit cranky to be told that.
The *blue dog* handles like a dream...and have had a lot of people coming up enquiring about the *Allisons*
Is there a dealer here in Gladstone or Boyne/Tannum? If not, it would be an excellent place to have one, as there is a lot of money around here, especially with the mines so close
Just a thought anyways
Has anyone got a mobile phone with camera capabilities that I can send thru some video footage too?
Have a bit of a funny story to post about the camera we were using, well, put it this way, we had to go to town yesterday and buy another one (e) but I'll let you know that when I do a post about the weekend
Great to hear the success of the Ocean Angler, way to go!

Its ok now, as Bushido burnt it to a cd and its being sent to Bruce with a fishing shirt ![]()
It wasnt the phone that went for a swim, it was the digital camera ....bloody thing fell out of old mates pocket when he leaned over to wash off the bait board, camera landed on the bait board in the water, and it hasnt worked since
Hence the trip to town to buy another one the next day ![]()
