NEW to forum- New Boat

[JGMACHINE]

Hi guys, I am new here and I just bought a new boat. it is a 1991 IMP 310 Eleganza. I don't know much about it, but what I can tell it looks like I got a good deal on it. I test drove it and now it will sit till spring... I am a modaholic, so what should or should I not do? anyone have experience with this type of boat?
Here is the ad I bought it from:
"POWERED BY A PAIR OF 7.4L 454CI - 330HP MERCRUISER WITH BRAVO DRIVES THAT HAS A PAIR OF 4 BLADE 24. PITCH PROPS. IT HAS THROUGH HULL EXHAUST. THE INTERIOR IS IN GREAT CONDITION, DROP DOWN BOLSTERS, VERY NICE CABIN THAT HAS A SEPARATE PORT A POTTY, REFRIGERATOR, SINK, SHORE POWER, FRESH WATER. THE BOAT HAS A VERY LOW , WELL MAINTAINED 400 HOURS. THE HULL IS IN PERFECT CONDITION WITH NO SCUFFS, OR IMPERFECTIONS. EVERYTHING WORKS, THE BOAT NEEDS NOTHING. IT ALSO COMES WITH A 1996 TRIPLE AXLE TRAILER THAT IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE BOAT HAS NO ISSUES AND IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION INSIDE AND OUT."

[JGMACHINE]

I updated my profile... I am from Buffalo NY. Yes it is snowing. The boat is getting shipped from MO. I was down there last weekend to view the boat and it is getting shipped this weekend.

[JustMVG]

Got any pics of the boat down below deck? Then we can offer up a stereo and video mod.

[Infomaniac]

Those photos were taken at the state park at LOTO. Right around the bend from party cove.

[JGMACHINE]

yes, I can post pics...... I am active on the corvette and hummer forums, so I know how things work... The part that sucks is that you need to have your pictures posted on another web site... Here is the thread I stold from...

I never heard that term before" water lice" thats great... I am thinking of selling it, as now that I have a boat, I will probally never use it... The guys on the hummer forum are real bad... they hate everyone and they took some getting use to... Do you think that fat chick would sink if you tossed her over board???

[Eliminator 4 Life]

Congratulations on your new boat :cool:

[Keith E. Sayre]

You'll be pleased with the Imp that you bought. Looks clean and neat!
They have a reputation for being very stout and solid. I believe that they
use the same hull as the Tempest which has won a great deal of races over
the years. If you're new to this boat game, be sure to get it winterized
immediately if you haven't already done so. Don't wait one minute!
And don't forget the porta potti and the speedo hose. And anything else
that has any type of water in it. I know that this sounds crazy but you'd
be amazed if you knew how many new engine blocks were sold every year
to replace cracked ones. If you don't know how to do it and you need a
little help, call me at 928-680-1400 at Conquest boats and I'll help you
through it. Best thing is to have a dealer do it but get it done!
Nice boat!

[JustMVG]

Nice clean boat. Is it a Viper? 400 hours on motors too? I'm guessing $30K to $40K range.

Sweet vette and I like the color

[JGMACHINE]

No its not a viper.

[spectras only]

[QUOTE=JGMACHINE] Do you think that fat chick would sink if you tossed her over board??? No she wouldn't sink but would sink yer boat with her in it ;) . BTW cool boat. I had a chance buying a twin engine 27' a while ago [cosmetically nice],but the balsa core was rotted.Too much work to fix. The owner screwed it up by not sealing holes when he installed stuff on the stringers and floors :supp: .

[spectras only]

[QUOTE=JGMACHINE]No its not a viper. Imp had a Viper model ;)

[Burnout]

You paid a little too much, but not bad. I saw you on another forum. Since this is the old Hull thechnology, the older the boat gets, the less in value it will become. Dont go over modifying it, or you will not get your moneys worth. I bet you cant wait to get out there and have fun.

[Debbolas]

Welcome!!!
Look! It's Titties and Butt
lol :wink:
