Today we became boat owners once again. We bought a 26' Imperial Cruiser. A FC260 to be exact. She's a 1986 vintage and in decent shape and one of her best features is the 10' beam - unusual on a boat of her size. We looked at a lot of boats and most did not live up to the photos used in their advertisements. We looked at a few Sea Rays and a couple of Carvers and were disappointed by the shape they were in.
We researched the Imperial brand and didn't find too much information. What information we did find was not very encouraging. But...the price was right and she appears to be a solid boat. Time will tell but we are looking forward to enjoying our time on the water. Now it's time for a few phone calls to find a slip - a place that will be our home away from home for the Summer months.
Speaking of the water, the river is over its' banks now with crest expected in another 4 or 5 days. The rain today is not helping the situation. With the high winds and the high water, the river was in another of her angry dispositions.
