Matt came into the Allison from a Hydrostream Vulture, which helped to smooth the transition into the faster Grand Sport. Bargren's Grand Sport runs over 100 MPH quite easily, thanks to its high performance modified Mercury engine. His setup includes an Allison 8-inch setback unit, Tooter's modified CLE lower unit, and a full compliment of Livorsi marine instruments. Matt reports that the boat drives like a dream, and that there's more speed locked away in his setup.
