people just tripping over themselves to get that hull. i think the only way you get it off the trailer is by paying the dump their 80 to 100 buck a ton tipping fee. hurts but at least they come off roller trailers pretty easy.

Haha I would like to try the redneck version first though! So I can at least make it worth while! Floor it in reverse hard brake and BAMO! Actually I have a better idea that I'm going to stick with!
1) remove all stainless hardware for spare parts Cleats etc. I use them for door handles ( garage door)
2) side marker lights for starboard and port on my new deck
3) cut the transom off the back and make a bar for my new deck!
4) board up the transom and make a boat tree house! <-- wife's idea! Whatcha think? Recycle reuse repurpose lol

I owned two 25' IMP's and a 31 Imp. I think they are great boats. A little heavy but they ride great. My last 25" had a great running 450hp 502 in it. Put it in some rough water and watch it eat up 25' Checkmates like they lost a prop. Had a buddy with a 25" with two small blocks too. Tight squeeze! Would have loved to have seen how my 31' would have ran with two of my current 675hp 548's and my 2 shorties on it.

Never Seen one in yellow before! I really love my 25 and the fact that it is heavy. It makes for a nice ride and the hull is decent enough to get some good speed out of it in the Chesapeake. I'm hoping to dig into the 70's with my new rebuild, lightened a few things and a prop change. I hit right on 70 with GPS on the previous N/a built 454 (still original) and TRS but just skinning it. My dad had a Built 427 or 454 Cant remember with a B&M 250 and hit 78 but his hull had a nasty hook. Which the Hook has been taken out and the hull was Blue printed. It just hasn't seen water yet. Luckily mine was damn near straight from the Factory and Dry Docked it's whole life. I'd really like to see more pics on yours if possible. I know of 5 of the 25' in my area including the one I parted out. I plan on the next rebuild being a lot like my dads. Since we have matching IMP's its more of a father son type thing so i have no plans of getting rid of mine. Mine has less then 100 hours total since 87'!!

Mine were all Bravo boats. My first 25' was a teal/turquoise 91 with a 330hp 454, the yellow one I bought with a frozen 330 and put a bow tie block 420hp 502 in it. Traded that one in on my '89 31 footer with 330's and Bravos. Miss that 31 and wish I still had it.
