    I am located in the caribbean on the island of St.Kitts (60 miles south of St.Maarten). I just bought a 1988 26' IMP ELEGANZA from a guy who had it sitting in his yard for some time exposed to the elements. The hull is in excellent condition and I may be able to get away with a buff job for the most part. However, the engines are seized ( twin mercruiser 5.7L I/O"s), the upholstery is in poor shape including the carpeting etc.,the gauges are probably not working and I guess it needs to be rewired. I need help to restore the boat to top condition. Any one know a company or individual who could help in this regard ? Not really familiar with this make of boat and the guy doesn't know if the company still exists. Any help wil be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
