Hi Guys - new here. I got a 31 foot 1991 IMP that I have had 2 years. I ripped all the interior out and having it all redone.

I was quoted $1600 for everything. That seems like a steal.... I do have a question if you can help. I have 2 drop out bolsters that have shocks on the bottom of the seats. I need to replace them, but I can not find them anywhere. The "shocks" have a cord that runs up the seat to a button to release the valve in the shock. Any thoughts????

Thanks...

Re: What's your winter project?
 
New stereo and install A/C. No more lifting the Carry-On Hatch A/C on and off.

For a tid bit of info for you guys thinking about installing A/C.... West Marine has been having a clearance sale on all their Mermaid line of A/C units at rediculous low prices. $100's off the regular pricing. I saved approx $600 off thier reg price. That's almost 1/2 off.
I'm sharing this info with you guys now because myself and a couple buddies have already gotten ours, so we are good to go. :p Order thru your local store and have it shipped to them= no $50 shipping charge. Otherwise order online and ship to your home. PLUS, get another $20 min Rewards certificate from WM.
