<p>Actually, if no more context provided, then this sentence could be interpreted in two different ways:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>"他是想象不出来的"means that he is the person that you can not imagine [what he looks like, or what he would do, etc]. If the speaker are talking about someone that at least one of the speakers never met, then this part might have this meaning, and a clearer way to say is "虽然我觉得你想象不出来他[会做这种事|长什么样子]就是了".</p></li>
<li><p>"他是想象不出来的"==> "他想象不出来XXX", i.e., you think that he can not imagine certain objects or events. This might occur in the scenario that both speakers are familiar with this man "he". A better way to express is "虽然我觉得他想象不出来就是了".</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Both of them are possible. </p>

<p>I wonder if someone could help me correctly parse the following and explain why it should be parsed that way:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>虽然我觉得他是想象不出来的就是了</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Is the speaker saying:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Though, I think he can't imagine (that)/I think it's unimaginable for him</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Or is it more accurate to say;</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Though, I think I can't imagine him (like that/doing that etc)</p>
</blockquote>

I wonder if someone could help me correctly parse the following and explain why it should be parsed that way:

> 虽然我觉得他是想象不出来的就是了

Is the speaker saying:

> Though, I think he can't imagine (that)/I think it's unimaginable for him

Or is it more accurate to say;

> Though, I think I can't imagine him (like that/doing that etc)

This sentence is quite oral,
`虽然我觉得他是想象不出来的就是了` == `虽然我觉得他想象不出来`
That is:

> Though, I think he can't imagine (it)

As for `Though, I think it is unimaginable for him`, you should say:

> 虽然我觉得这对他来说是不可想象的

And `Though, I think I can't imagine him (like that/doing that etc)` should be:

> 虽然我觉得我无法想象他（是那样的/做了那件事）

Actually, if no more context provided, then this sentence could be interpreted in two different ways:

1. "他是想象不出来的"means that he is the person that you can not imagine [what he looks like, or what he would do, etc]. If the speaker are talking about someone that at least one of the speakers never met, then this part might have this meaning, and a clearer way to say is "虽然我觉得你想象不出来他[会做这种事|长什么样子]就是了".
2. "他是想象不出来的"==> "他想象不出来XXX", i.e., you think that he can not imagine certain objects or events. This might occur in the scenario that both speakers are familiar with this man "he". A better way to express is "虽然我觉得他想象不出来就是了".

Both of them are possible.
