the big issue on any merc(I assume) big block before 1988 is it's going to have alpha drives, unless it's a rare TRS set-up, alphas and big blocks and weight don't mix well in performace applications, now someone could have updated to bravo's.....Rob

Seen One Set On A Roller Trailer Had Big Dents Where The Rollers Were. Other Than That Seemed Like A Nice Boat. Theres One On Texoma That Is Very Nice.

We raced with 31 IMP's in the 80's and they were competitive. I viewed there performance and build quality similar to any other mid-range late 80's sport boat. Hull seem similar to a Fountain?
