Some questions to the old school cowboys over here
A friend of mine owns a 31 IMP 1989. We are trying to figure out
from what hull it has it's roots. First I was thinking 27 magnum (as usual).
But now I am more in to it comes from the 24x7 hull.
Please help me out here guys
Big thanks
Mange

We used to sell these boats in the late 80's. The 310 was a fun boat but I do not know the history of the hull.

I was told from another SOS member that the 31 IMP bottom was pulled from the 30 something late 70's Cigarette hull, He's a pretty "in the know" kind of guy but was was not 100% sure; maybe he will chime in.
couple more pic's.
This boat belongs to Scotty who runs the wheel on my Race boat. It's one Clean IMP. With a couple 502 GM crate motors. It runs 67/70mpg at WOT and is a wave crusher.

02-08-2009 09:02 PMI have a mold for a 31' / 32' Excalibur sure looks like the same boat with a extra body line and a little fair in the bow, sure would not be hard to do on a plug boat.
I would say Excalibur also.
