My "new" 91 Supra Impluse

[dannyrds]

Well new to me anyway. I originally looked at this boat last fall, the gel was very faded, floors are soft and need replacing, had a tarp with the snaps screwed into the top of the boat, hour meter reads 630. I made a lowball offer based on the condition of the boat and the seller called me back about 6 weeks ago and accepted my offer. I have since picked it up and cleaned it up the best i can for this season, i have many questions that i need answers to, but for now, here are some pics.

Looks good, if you don't mind me askin what you give? You deff need to check the stringers if the floor is soft

[dannyrds]

i have checked the stringers and they sound kinda hollow, ive accelerated in forward and reverse and had a spotter watch the motor mounts, they dont move. over the winter i plan on pulling the floor, replacing the stringers and all the floor wood, re-glass it all, and install new carpet. the owner was asking $5000, i offered her $1000.

Yea that's a great deal. I paid 2800 for my comp and had to do stringers. Good luck on it if you got any questions just let me know. I just finished my stringer rebuild

Well the good news is it looks good and floats lol. Bad news is welcome to your new addiction.

Congrats on the new steal - er, I mean deal. Looks great, especially for the price. Enjoy it & like Hematoma said, probably get hooked this summer - which will be good to keep you motivated when it's rebuild time...

Trying to figure out what the difference is in my Comp and this Impulse? They look the same... By the way that background is amazing! Beautiful boat too!

i thought it was called an impulse, it had impulse written in large script on the side along with a pink and a purple stripe. my dad has been helping me find info, he thought is was a more entry level comp, with only 2 tracking fins and only one color, but we could be wrong, any insight would be appreciated. $1k was the deal, ive spent quite a bit of time cleaning it up, the interior is decent, front observer seat has a couple patchs and the rear hatch/locker cover was replaced with the wrong shade of white, i will have both of those redone this winter. the back ground is at my cabin at pavilion lake, british columbia. 2nd clearest lake in bc last year, this is one of 2 ski boats on our lake, the rest are fisherman.

Yeah it's the Impulse. Kind of like the Comp Esprit.

It's like an appearance package on a car. As you can see by your very unique paint and decal scheme. They aren't too terribly rare, but are not as common as the Comp Ts6m. The Impulse is actually a step above the Ts6m, which is the base level. The Esprit and Impulses were just appearance packages.

For $1,000 you got a helluva deal man, congrats!!!!! It's a beautiful boat.

Esprit for reference, it's a Conbrio, but same thing:
