 its a 23ft imperial with a cuddy cabin. it also has a porta-potty on it. picked it up for $1700 the day after christmas. the boat needs a motor, it currently has a chevy 305 but it wasnt winterized on time and the block is cracked. im putting a 350 in it. i drove to michigan, ann arbor area for this boat all the way from pittsburgh and it was a fun trip home but the F150 pulled it with no probs at all. im trying to get it done for the end of april/beginning of may as this summer is gonna be so much fun. remember pittsburgh has the 3 rivers  im 21 yrs old and all my buddies are 21-25 and we are gonna have a blast partying all summer, taking it to the clubs on the river etc, not to mention skiing and tubing

I love riding over 50+mph wakes. I'm not sure what's more fun, the turns are the plunges  Looks like it'd be a hell of a time. Wish I still had lake Erie as my backyard

Good pick-up, but I wonder why they even bothered with a 305 in the first place

alot of boats come with a 305 chevy motor made by mercruiser, and thats what this did. its the motor the boat was made with
im getting a 350, putting all marine gaskets on it and maybe sticking in a nice RV cam. i think it'll hold up fine, plus a marine motor is expensive!
